Optimization
DecisionPro's Solver allows you to find input values
for your model that maximize or minimize a result. This is useful
for resource allocation problems such as choosing the product mix
that maximizes profit given limited raw materials and resources.
The Solver uses standard linear and integer programming
techniques. However, unlike typical linear programming tools,
DecisionPro lets you specify your objective and constraints in
plain English form.
DecisionPro's Goal Seek tool solves non-linear
unconstrained optimization problems. For example, Goal Seek
allows you to find the product price that maximizes profit using
a model that simulates consumer price sensitivity.
