We've created the Optimization Engine as an interface for you to customize the optimization model for existing applications, and create net-new models for your own use cases, without having to involve a Celonis engineer. The Optimization Engine is a frontend where you can create, populate, and solve Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) models. For source data, it can use objects from a perspective, KPIs from a Knowledge Model, or a combination of both.

The Optimization Engine replaces the Celoptima optimization code for all users of the Material Allocation app - we'll migrate your existing configuration for you. It'll also be used in upcoming Celonis applications. The Optimization Engine runs through a dedicated Machine Learning job which we'll add to your team automatically, but as it's in Limited Availability status, we'll need to enable it before you can use it. If you want to try out the Optimization Engine, ask your Celonis point of contact.
