Challenge #65: Fulfilling Inventory Orders

MarMu
8 - Asteroid

 

Fun little exercise. I thought the contraints sounded a bit unrealistic, but I guess that was in order to make it easy to solve in Alteryx. I managed to solve it with 6 tools. Probably the same solution as many other.

 

The constraints doesn't necessarily solve the problem to optimum, as the solution can leave SKU on stock. So I solved the challenge using to Optimization tool aswell. This guarantees an optimal solution. The only thing you need to change is the penalty/reward giving in the objective function. I gave an exponential reward to force rank assignment of orders.

I have no idea why the first day I looked at this, it looked so confusing to me. But when I came back to it a few days later, it was all clear. I'm glad I didn't skip this one.
