Number of Runs

Warning: This topic is aimed at Schedule AI Assistant administrators.
Settings in the Advanced Settings page are shared among all users of Schedule AI Assistant for the refinery site. Any changes made in this page affect all users.

The Number of Runs advanced feature lets you decide how many times the machine learning engine runs when optimizing the schedule. Increasing the number of runs improves the likelihood of finding a better optimization result, but it also increases the optimization time.

You can set a value for the number of runs and optionally let users change this value within a certain range.

Note: The default number of runs is 50.
