3. Select controls for the optimization.
Select the MAIN REFRESHMENT STAFF, SATELLITE REFRESHMENT STAFF,
and TICKET TAKERS for optimization by clicking on their corresponding Included
check box.
4. Modify bounds and suggested values for each of the Resource controls by double-
clicking the row or by selecting the named control in the tree view.
Adjust the upper bounds for MAIN REFRESHMENT STAFF and SATELLITE
REFRESHMENT STAFF to match the ones given in the previous table.
5. Next we’ll open the Responses Summary window by selecting the Responses node
from the tree view or clicking View > Responses to show the resulting values or
outputs from the Arena simulation. This output cannot be modified; however,
management wants us to maximize net profits, so we want to select the Net Profit
variable by checking the corresponding box in the Included column. Re-order the list
by clicking on the Included header until Net Profit is at the top of the grid.
6. Select the Constraints node from the tree view or click View > Constraints to
display the Constraint Summary grid.
Since the total staff should not exceed eight people, we must add a constraint to limit
the search to solutions that satisfy this management restriction.
Click Add to insert a constraint named Constraint 1 to represent Total Staff. You
may type Total Staff in the Description field.
