To run this experiment you must obligatory specify either a supplier (Suppliers table) or an Initial stock (Product Storages table), or both of them.

If no path is specified for the user-defined distribution center, Network Optimization experiment will not consider it.

To run the Network Optimization experiment

1. Click the required scenario of the type in the anyLogistix scenarios ribbon.
2. Navigate to the experiments section and select Network Optimization.
   

   If the Experiment settings window is not open, click in the experiments controls.

3. Set the experiment settings:
   • Specify the demand type in the Select demand variation type parameter.
   • Define the objective by selecting the required option in the Select search type for N best solutions.
   • Now specify the number of solutions that you need to find in the Number of best solutions to find.
   • Set the time limit in the Optimization time limit,sec parameter.
   • If needed, specify the Relative MIP gap.
4. Click Run to execute the experiment. The log view will appear with a progress bar showing the progress of downloading the required routes. The experiment will be executed once all the routes have been downloaded. The log view will now show the progress of the experiment.
5. Analyze the results of the experiment provided.

The optimizer log view is available only during the experiment run. It shows the current progress of the experiment:

1. Current best — the best current solution. If a better solution is found, it will substitute the current table record.
2. Iterations — all the solutions that the experiment finds as it progresses.
3. Running the experiment — the progress bar showing the current progress of the experiment.
