This document provides examples of using Microsoft Excel Solver to optimize scheduling and resource allocation problems. It includes: 1) A staff scheduling problem for an amusement park to determine employee schedules over a week that meets attendance demand while minimizing payroll costs. 2) A product mix problem that determines the optimal quantities of TVs, stereos, and speakers to produce given limited parts inventory to maximize profits. 3) A transportation problem that determines the lowest cost shipment amounts from production plants to warehouses to meet demand while not exceeding plant supplies. The document provides the modeling formulations, specifications, and constraints for each example problem that can be solved using Solver. It demonstrates how to add, change, and save constraints to
