Overview
Gurobi solvers deliver critical insights that help aerospace and defense professionals make strategic decisions to reduce production costs and streamline operations while balancing logistical and budget constraints with regulatory, environmental and safety concerns. Learn how optimization is used to solve high-level problems, such as how to get key personnel to places they’re most needed for projects, how to plan for evacuations in the case of impending natural disasters or other threats, or how to design and construct planes and spacecraft to reduce weight without sacrificing strength.

Explore real-world problems in your industry
Dive deep into sample models, built with our Python API.
Economic Planning
In this example, you’ll discover how mathematical optimization can be used to address a macroeconomic planning problem that a country may face. We’ll show you how to model and solve an input-output problem encompassing the interrelationships between the different sectors of a country’s economy. This model is example 9 from the fifth edition of Model Building in Mathematical Programming by H. Paul Williams on pages 263-264 and 316-317. This modeling example is at the intermediate level, where we assume that you know Python and are familiar with the Gurobi Python API. In addition, you should have some knowledge about building mathematical optimization models.
