Operations Research for the Modern Da
ta Scientist: The interplay between Optimization and Machine Learning/Generative AI
Alexander Hipolito, Director
Advanced Analytics Group, Bain & Company
This talk explores the connection between Optimization (the principle technique in Operations Research and Prescriptive Analytics), and Machine Learning / Deep Learning (ML/DL). We’ll discuss Optimization’s critical role in ML/DL algorithms and how Optimization, particularly Mixed Integer Programming, can be used to address data science use-cases directly. We’ll likewise look at approaches to leveraging ML/DL techniques in solving Optimization problems. We’ll then provide a framework for combining ML/DL with Optimization and showcase real-world examples (in Supply Chain, Workforce planning, Retail, and Healthcare among others) demonstrating the framework. We will conclude with new research on and a demonstration of combining Generative AI with Optimization applications. The talk aims to inspire increased cooperation and innovation between Operations Researchers and Data Scientists in addressing complex challenges and harnessing the potential of their respective toolkits.
Alexander Hipolito is a Director within Bain & Company’s Advanced Analytics Group in Manila specializing in the use of optimization and machine learning / data science techniques for supply chain and service operations applications. Prior to Bain, Alex worked as a Solution Architect for Supply Chain as well as Data Science solutions for Hewlett Packard in Singapore. Alex has a Ph.D. in Industrial & Systems Engineering (Operations Research) from the University of Florida and holds industry certifications from ASCM (APICS Certified Supply Chain Professional) and INFORMS (Certified Analytics Professional).
The Use of Data Analytics for Productivity Improvement in a Semiconductor Company in the Philippines
Rex Robielos
Department Manager, Operations Research Engineering, Analog Devices
In this talk, the development of dashboards for key performing indicators such as Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE), provides near real-time monitoring of equipment performances which helps manufacturing in identifying appropriate initiatives to improve productivity and equipment utilization. In addition, machine learning was applied in one of the key processes in test manufacturing to maximize the number of lots that can skip the In-Line Sampling process while still minimizing the defects. The machine learning model was able to classify 96.1% of failing lots while skipping 41% of the lots. Furthermore, the machine learning model classified the failing category at 86% accuracy. While the results can improve OEE, the model is still being reviewed as this might have an impact on product quality.
Rex Robielos is the Department Manager of Operations Research Engineering at Analog Devices General Trias. He was previously the Dean of the School of Industrial Engineering and Engineering Management at Mapua University. He has a BS in Applied Mathematics from the University of the Philippines Los Baños, and a Diploma and MS in Industrial Engineering from the University of the Philippines Diliman. He received his Ph.D in Industrial Management at National Taiwan University of Science and Technology in Taiwan. Currently, he is a Director of Human Factors and Ergonomics Society of the Philippines.
