PROBLEM:  When a capacity is put on a service facility and the "Solve for X" is used to find the optimum distribution points, some customers might be left as "orphans"--they do not get assigned to their optimum location.


Please use this work around:

 

  1. Use solver “Solve for Best X” as you are doing now
  2. Then select the service locations that were identified by the first solver (Minneapolis/Dallas)
  3. Go to Solver “Solve for…” and solve for selected/objective/current


Expected upgrade date:  Currently solver in Alpha tests, expect Beta in December 2021
