The Wharton Business School attracts elite corporate organizations to hold their presentations and interviews for prospective candidates. Each organization wants to get the prime slots within the first few days of the commencement of placements. It became particularly challenging for the school to accept the requests of all the companies keeping in consideration the available rooms and requirements varying from time-slot restrictions to spacing away companies with similar functions and industry. At the same time the school has to try and accommodate as many requests as possible. This task was previously so cumbersome, that it used to take a whole week to come out with a schedule manually.

FriarTuck’s team of optimization experts used in-house solver based on heuristic and combinatorial search techniques to come out with optimized employer presentations schedule. The credibility of the solution is seen from the fact that it was able to satisfy more than 80% of the first choice dates and 95% of the first three choices for dates. The solution is generated using the solver in the matter of minutes and is far more optimal compared to the ones generated manually.

The Wharton Business School has shown its appreciation of the unique value-addition ushered in by our software solution. As a result, FriarTuck has bagged the privilege of providing solution upgrades and consultancy services on an annual basis.
