Original Abstract Submitted

A method is disclosed, and a system for performing the method, the method comprising: obtaining a set of operations data for a facility, the set of operations data including a plurality of tasks scheduled to be completed, and a plurality of operational constraints; generating an optimization model based on the set of operations data, wherein the optimization model defines a plurality of variables corresponding to operations of the facility and the plurality of operational constraints; calculating, using the optimization model, a set of solution values, wherein each of the set of solution values corresponds to one or more of the plurality of variables; and transmitting the set of solution values to a scheduling device configured to generate a task schedule for the facility, wherein altering the value of one of the operational constraints alters the optimization model and an altered set of solution values is calculated.
