We need a solution for demand planning and scheduling based on Python. The technical stack will be React front-end and Django back-end with PostgreSQL as the DB. Based on requirements, we are most likely going to require an algorithm and Python libraries to help us complete this future project. At this stage, we are not looking for the project to be developed but we are only finalising the technical stack, libraries and algorithms so we can firm up development requirements. We are looking for good advice based on expert knowledge, documented research and solution recommendation for a problem that we are doing research for. The project most likely will be posted on upwork and has a higher chance of going to the person who completes this project. Example scenarios In a small lab environment, we have pre-planned blood tests that need to happen on the day. Using pre-defined lab operators and their availability, pre-defined steps for each test metadata that will include machine time and operator. We need to create the most optimised schedule for the day, not only for the operators but also for the lab machines because they have the capacity of taking more than one test at a time of the same types of test. The second issues is, when we get new future orders or have a prospect customers. We need to forecast quickly if we can or cannot process the orders based on the availability of that future day in question.
What do we need: We need somebody to identify, the right type of algorithms and Python libraries that we can use in the solution for scheduling in the most optimised way and do scenario modelling when new opportunities arise.
What we expect from you: 1. Provide list of algorithms and links to suitable libraries that could be relevant for the solution and why? 2. Demo an example either based on data we provide or of your choosing that we can agree during the initial call. To be perfectly clear, we are outsourcing the research due to time constraints here and not developing the project.
For people who have experience wouldn’t take long to come back but I understand some research may be required. Timelines are critical and we need this project to be completed in few days. On your response, please provide a timeline and why is this a relevant project for you. This is a urgent project so timeline plays a important part.
Please do not respond if you cannot prove your competency in delivering this project either from your portfolio, reviews, CV or Linkedin profile.
