Recent years have witnessed a revolutionary change in operational and strategic planning in business and industry, brought about by optimization technology. Gains in profitability and market share due to optimization technology are being  reported by firms in all industries, both private and public, both manufacturing and service.

Often the results are not simply favorable, but extraordinary, far exceeding management's expectations. Investments in this technology for management are saving many firms millions of dollars annually and yielding payback periods measured in months rather than years.

The Hearin Center for Enterprise Science has been created with the primary objective of making optimization technology accessible to organizations. In this pursuit, we have assembled a resource base consisting of resident faculty researchers, distinguished affiliates from leading Universities and research institutions from around the world, state-of-the-art computer equipment, and the most advanced software for optimization.
