From Tomorrowland’s complex artist scheduling to real-world curveballs, discover how festival planning blends mathematical optimization with human intuition, empathy, and adaptability.

Fuse Bryntum’s sleek Scheduler with Timefold’s optimization engine. This hands-on guide walks you through the wiring, so your schedules are user-friendly and smart.

Optimization algorithms can spit out mathematically brilliant schedules, but if planners can’t see the rationale, those “perfect” plans end up in the trash. In this blog post, Tom Cools explains how explainability turns planning optimization into a trusted ally instead of a black box.

Combine Timefold’s PlanningAI with Bryntum’s interactive visualization tools to revolutionize your scheduling operations.

Let’s talk about the elephant in the optimization room: enterprise planning is stuck in the past. And in order to catch up, understanding how the world plans helps. Let’s break down the 4 levels of scheduling.

Plans rarely survive reality, no matter how perfect they are. Employee sick calls, broken trucks, or no-show customers can wreck your carefully built schedule before lunchtime. That’s why our PlanningAI optimization algorithms replan in real-time. In this post, Tom Cools will enlighten you on how this works.

Operations Research is, and has always been, about solving one of the world’s toughest challenges: planning problems. Finding the best way to allocate resources, schedule shifts, or route deliveries under an abundance of real-world constraints. It is widely accepted that optimizing those problems will make the world a better place. Then why does OR struggle with real-world adoption?
