AMAKEY is also an optimization expert and provides optimization solutions.
AMAKEY provides "Optimal Constraint Propagation" which is the optimal reduction of the variable bounds (or domains)
based on deductions that can be made from the problem constraints.
Better Transportation of
people and goods
Efficient international transportation of people and goods is essential.
Visitors need to easily come in and out of the country and have a good experience about the transportation and infrastructures. To satisfy the expectations of so many customers, the airport operations need to be efficient and painless
-
good assignment of planes to gates to minimize walking, transfers times and stress
-
efficient operations of the airport facilities in particular shops, restaurants and other amenities
Better Ground Transportation
Transportation to and from the airport should be easy and comfortable via buses, taxis and the metro. Optimized bus and metro schedules are fundamental to provide a great service while maintaining the profitability of the ground transportation operations, which is essential for its long term viability.
The expansion of the metro system means increased operation complexities which requires
a more efficient management of workforce and their needs.
A fundamental part of workforce efficiency at work is good work schedules.
The schedules of subways need to be synchronized to optimize transfers to other subways
but also to buses, to make intermodal transportation practical for all.
Better Ports
People expect easy and affordable availability to internationally produced goods. This requires efficient port infrastructure. From the Persian Gulf to the Red Sea, container capacity counts.
Ports need to be optimized for faster and cheaper container handling, inter-port movements, more precise schedules for vessel, better adherence to the forecasted departure and arrival times, and easy transportation from and to production sites to the ports.
Better shopping experience
Shops, food and beverage, restaurants
Workforce efficiency, high quality products and inventory management are the keys
to efficient management of customer facing services like shops and F&B outlets.
The importance of workforce schedules is recognized by all actors in the servicing industry
to the point it is one of the critical KPIs for companies like McDonalds or Starbucks.
Work schedules need to take into account
Workers availabilities
Workers skills and efficiency : best workers should be assigned to the most critical times
Needs in terms of gaining news skills : practicing new skills during non-peak hours
Rest and breaks : fundamental because of security
Personal preferences : days off, working times, etc
Better Food Manufacturing
The production of quality food items in food-processing plants needs strict adherence to hygiene protocols and perfect timing. A raw material that has gone a bit bad won’t result in delicious food at the exit of the line.
Manufacturing plants need to be orchestrated to perfection to guarantee the timely availability of raw materials, machines and personnel. The throughput of the plant needs to be aligned with seasonality of raw materials and demand, inventory capacity and shelf life. Supply chains have to be as local as possible, but also reliable and cost effective.
Developing Local Expertise
All improvement projects should result in the creation of local expertise
in terms of workforce, manufacturing and transportation efficiency
