SOLVER
• Solver is an add-in application that manipulates variables based on constraints to find the optimal solution to a problem.
• Solver is one of the most sophisticated what-if analysis tools, and people use Solver in a variety of situations and industries.

OBJECTIVE AND VARIABLE CELL
• The objective cell is the cell that contains the formula-based value that you want to maximize, minimize, or set to a value in Solver.
• A changing variable cell is a cell containing a variable whose value changes until Solver optimizes the value in the objective cell.

LOAD SOLVER ADD-IN
• Files -> Options -> Add Ins• Manage add-in -> Excel add-in -> Go• Select solver add-in -> Ok
5
SET OBJECTIVE AND VARIABLE CELL
• Data -> Solver• Set objective variable cell and value• Set changing variable cells• Close and save the workbook.• Add constraints.

SOLVE
• Chose a solving method:– GRG Nonlinear: guaranteed local optimal– Simplex LP: guaranteed global optimal, must
be linear– Evolutionary: good solutions for non smooth
functions• Solve
