          THE TOURISM AND HOSPITALITY SECTION

ABSTRACT: The operational research is a so actual task, which is a binary, lineal inequality
system, figures in the lecture onto its solution can be leaded back. In the article from among
the solution methods three act: the simplex-method, the graphical solution, and the Excel
spreadsheet Solver complement problem solving happening to its help. From among the
solution manners the simplex method and the Excel the usage of spreadsheet Solver
complement on the case of more of his changing uses applicable. The Excel the usage of
spreadsheet Solver complement the thorough cognition of the first two methods and appears
useful because we may manage to get quickly onto a result with its help after its drilling, and
we may devote the time released to the analysis of the solution of the task and the
interpretation of the meanings offered by Solver. (For the lecture this latter – analyses,
interpretations – not its aim.)
