Solver as a tool for solving logistic optimization problems

Abstract

A large group of decision problems arising in logistic practice are those ones characterized by finding the best possible solutions, taking into account certain criteria and being under certain restrictions. Those problems are named in the literature as optimization ones. The article presents the possibility of using the Solver optimization tool for solving this type of decision problems on the example of two hypothetical situations related to the two optimization models: transportation model and transshipment model.
