In contrast to many small scale academic examples, real-world planning problems from production management or logistics can often only be solved with considerable computational effort. For this reason, it has long been common practice in research to solve problems with higher complexity by supporting standard software (e.g. solvers) or to program corresponding solution algorithms. By facing the IM Challenge, advanced students of master or diploma courses be given the opportunity to familiarize themselves with a defined business problem and then to implement it independently and in a problem-oriented manner. The competition between the participants ("Who achieves the best solution?") provides additional motivation. |

IM Challenge 2023 |
The IM Challenge 2024 will be carried out together with SachsenEnergie. An important component for the operation and maintenance of Dresden's district heating network is the regular testing of individual components and test elements in the network. This inspection is carried out by a team of technicians who have other important tasks to fulfil in addition to the inspection tasks. SachsenEnergie's aim is to test as many test elements as possible within a year, whereby the categorisation of the test elements must be observed. How can the best possible inspection routes be created within a planning horizon of up to two weeks? You will find the answer to this question as part of the IM Challenge 2024! |
