Back to School Optimization Steps to run the code

README.md

Back to School Optimization

This folder contains two SAS programs that create the data and run the optimization model for the Back to School Optimization problem described in the Operations Research blog post "Back to School Optimization."

  1. bso_create_data.sas: Program to create the three input data files - INPUT_SCHOOL_DATA, INPUT_ROOM_DATA, and INPUT_BLOCK_DATA. Note that the INPUT_BLOCK_DATA is for weekly rotation scenario.
  2. bso_optimize.sas: Program to read the input files and run the optimization model

Steps to run the code

  1. Open and run the bso_create_data.sas program. This creates three input data sets in your WORK library.
  2. Open the file bso_optimize.sas. Change the first two lines to specify your own CAS session and caslib.
  3. Modify the macro variables (virtual_percent,transition_window, and plan_num) depending on the scenario. As mentioned earlier, the sample data in the INPUT_BLOCK_DATA is for weekly rotation scenario. The user should modify the INPUT_BLOCK_DATA table and plan_num macro variable to run for a different time horizon scenario.
  4. Run bso_optimize.sas, which loads the input data sets from WORK to your specified caslib and runs the optimization model. The optimization program creates an output CAS table called OUTPUT_FULL_ASSIGNMENT in your specified caslib.
