A history in optimization technology

Since 1987, the AD OPT team has maintained a strong commitment towards research and development in the field of operations research — the science behind our award winning optimization technology. In fact, over 20 percent of our development staff consists of optimization professionals dedicated to ongoing development projects.

AD OPT is headquartered in Montreal, Canada and is an important member of the international operations research community. With numerous universities, research centers, and university spin-offs whose core business is operations research, Montreal is widely considered to be an operations research hotspot for talented students and professionals.

Defining operations research

Operations research is the science of finding solutions to complex problems using mathematical analysis. By identifying, naming, and classifying problems, operations research uncovers new methods of mathematically solving these problems by exposing their intrinsic complexity with the ultimate goal of finding better algorithms.

In other words, AD OPT uses operations research to develop airline solutions that solve complex crew management problems in the most efficient and cost-effective manner.
