Learn More, Download Free Trial from the Excel Solver Creators
What is Optimization Software?
- Optimization (learn
more) helps you make decisions to allocate scarce resources more
efficiently.
- The resources may be raw materials, machine
time or people time, money, or anything else in limited
supply.
- The optimal solution, found by
Solver software, may mean maximizing
profits, minimizing costs, or achieving the best possible
quality.
- See
examples by functional area and industry.
Can I Benefit from Optimization Software?
If you're thinking "There's got to be a
better way for
us to do X [where X involves allocating resources].
But we have so many individual choices to make, and the
possible combinations are almost infinite. If we could
do X more efficiently, the payoff would be terrific,"
then your problem is a good candidate for optimization.
What Does it Take to Use Optimization Software?
- You -- or a good analyst working for
you -- will need to build a model that
describes your resource allocation problem in quantitative
terms, using decision variables, constraints, and an
objective.
- The fastest way to get results is to build the model in
Microsoft Excel.
- Our high-performance Solvers can find the best
of the almost infinite combinations -- and you can examine the
solution in an Excel spreadsheet.
What Makes Frontline's Solvers the Best Choice?
- We developed the Solver in Microsoft
Excel -- the world's most widely used optimization
software. We have an
18-year history of
innovation in this
field.
- Our advanced Solvers are proven in use by nearly
200,000 people. We count over
five thousand companies as customers, many of

firms.
Our software is the overwhelming
favorite tool for teaching MBA students about these
methods, in a thousand universities worldwide.
- More than any other vendor, we've made optimization easy to use by smart people
who aren't specialists in operations research or
management science.
- Beyond software, we have the
experience to help you build a model and get results
quickly -- in a full consulting capacity if
needed, but more often in a "coaching" role for
model-builders in your company.
