Abstract
This paper presents an introduction to optimization and an overview of SAS capabilities in optimization, with a focus on mathematical optimization with SAS/OR® software. We review the current suite of optimization modules and techniques available in SAS/OR software, highlighting recent additions. We discuss the value that optimization adds to business intelligence, and we describe several recent cases in which optimization has played a central role in the creation of SAS decision support solutions.
