Cases involving resource allocation

Hello,
I wanted to know if there is already a Case in rapidminer that involves the following problem:
I have 3 machines which are constantly moving between 5 locations, each one has a daily cost of use, a cost of transportation between each point and different delivery in hours per location, I would like to know which is the optimal machine allocation between locations in order to maximize hours of use and have the minimum cost, I have an idea in R with a function and maximize the function with restrictions, but I dont know If I do this in rapidminer?
Thank you
If there is an applied case that is close to this problem it would come very handy!

Hi,
you could use Prescriptive Optimization for it. Would be a bit of creative usage though.

Yes, this seems like more of a straightforward operations research constrained optimization problem. You could probably repurpose RapidMiner to do something like this, but you may find an easier solution using a purpose-built solver for this type of problem (e.g., simplex method / linear programming). There are many such tools out there, including some that are plug-ins for Excel, so a little bit of google searching should be a good starting point.
