On Time Systems, Inc. (OTS) brings state of the art search-based optimization technology to industrial problems. In recent years, search-based techniques have surpassed the effectiveness of the long-dominant operations research techniques for solving a large variety of optimization problems, and OTS is at the leading edge. This lets us:

• tackle problems orders of magnitude larger,
• solve problems orders of magnitude more quickly, and
• find dramatically better solutions.

For example, OTS solutions to real-world problems faced by military and
industrial clients have resulted in:

• an expected 10-15% reduction in labor costs for shipyard construction,
• an estimated 2% reduction in fuel costs for USAF cargo aircraft (projected $15M/year savings),
• 10% shorter makespan for fighter aircraft wing production
• the ability to schedule 20x more production with 20% shorter makespans for fiber-optic cable manufacturing, and
• up to a 66% reduction in lateness and 40% increase in throughput in CD manufacturing.
