Question 1
A customer is looking for a solution to determine the best staff levels at their service centers while considering variability in arrival rates of service tickets and duration to resolve them. Which IBM offering will the technical seller propose to the customer?
CPLEX Optimization Studio
Decision Optimization Center with Uncertainty Toolkit
Correct answer: C
Explanation:
Optimization and decision-making under uncertainty involves other challenges, such as large numbers of scenarios and complex mathematical models. The IBM Research Uncertainty Toolkit was developed to help businesses resolve all of those challenges. The toolkit is a suite of user-friendly tools for optimization under uncertainty, which allow one to analyze the tradeoff between robustness and cost-effectiveness of a planning decision, and to create, evaluate and select alternative solutions, including solutions hedged against uncertainty through robust and stochastic optimization.
