POM-QM can be installed on your own computer from the CD that
came with the Heizer-Render text.
Remember, you can't install anything on the school computers.
You can also download demo versions of POM-QM and EXTEND from the
vendors. These also must be installed. These run under Vista.
Imagine That! Website with more EXTEND Resources. Demo is under the downloads link, but you have to install it and models can't be saved.POM-QM Demo from Prentice-Hall must be installed. Only runs 3 modules, but includes LP, and the 3 modules are fully functional.

| For some reason I don't understand there is a reproducible
problem in the school system with EXCEL 2007 that an attempt to generate
sensitivity data in EXCEL SOLVER at this point results in an out-of-memory
error.
I have reproduced this problem in Vista and EXCEL 2007 on my own system, so made a video for it. The workaround is to solve without sensitivity analysis, then re-solve and get the sensitivity analysis.The second time around, it works. you have to go through a full cycle to a successful solution before going back to get the sensitivity report. That is, solve without asking for sensitivity, then go back into solver and solve again, this time asking for the sensitivity report. If you solve, ask for sensitivity, get the error, then solve again and again ask for sensitivity, you will have an endless cyle of errors. Remember: insanity is doing the same thing repetitively and expecting something different to happen. |
