Expanding the optimization methods used in management decision making
Abstract
An approach is presented for the use of optimization methods based on standard software, Excel spreadsheets (included in the widespread MS Office), in particular, the «Search for a Solution» («What-If») add-in, which are used in logistics companies for optimal structuring of transportation costs (transport task). Mathematical models of transport problems have been built and in the course of their testing, potential opportunities have been identified that can be useful for a feasibility study (FS) of elements of public infrastructure (communica-tion routes, bridges, etc.). An example of calculation is given.
