The Power of FileMaker And the Simplex Method, With Steel Blending Examples

FileMaker is powerful. The Simplex Method (linear algebra) is powerful. Together their power is amplified. Take a journey through an actual project that combined FileMaker with JavaScript to produce optimal blends and save a mini-mill $Millions each year.

JavaScript in Web Viewer works as a "black-box" to return results from properly formatted inputs. The Simplex code I am using is a modified version of MIT licensed code, and can be distributed.

Topics include: 
• Introduction to steel blending issues
• JavaScript input formatting and options
• Confirmation of results
• Time savings, cost savings
