Resum: Analytics focuses on transforming data into insights by applying advanced analytical methods, based on mathematics, statistics, operations research and artificial intelligent models and algorithms, with the objective to improve the performance of an organization. One of the main tools in Analytics is Optimization. In this talk, we present the optimization tools and methodologies that have social impact in Non Profit Organization or Social organizations. We will describe applications of Mathematical Programming Models and Metaheuristics Algorithms to Social and Healthcare organizations. Examples of applications of Optimization in these organizations are: home social and health care logistics and scheduling; location of the primary health care centers or schools; planning a sustainable transportation, etc. We will discuss also the main aspects of these models and algorithms, and the main differences to other more frequent applications, as in manufacturing and retailing industries.
