The Constraint Summary grid should look like the image below.

5. We will not change the Options settings, so you may press the Start icon on the tool-

bar or select Run > Start Optimization to begin the optimization.

When this optimization is run, the first solutions are infeasible; they violate one or more
of the constraints. Infeasible solutions are plotted as dashed red lines on the Objective
Values chart, while feasible values are plotted as solid green lines. OptQuest always
places a higher value on feasible solutions (solutions that satisfy all constraints).

Under this new optimization, although most of the solutions were infeasible, the optimiza-
tion found a feasible best solution that has a net profit of $1138.16. By rearranging the
staff to have two workers in the main refreshment area, four workers in the satellite area,
and two ticket takers, we can meet our requirements to have no customers leave the ticket
line and fewer than eight leave the food line.

Closing the second tutorial

To close the tutorial, select File > Exit. When OptQuest prompts you to save the Optimi-
zation file before closing, click No. The optimization file Movie Theater Design2.opt is
already included with this example in your Examples folder.
