The article deals with the possible application of the Solver optimization module to solving the single-circuit transport problems. First, the article describes the single-circuit transport problems and the optimization module Solver itself. Using the specific model example of beer distribution, the author demonstrates the algorithm which may be applied to solving single-circuit transport problems by means of Solver. The travel route designed by Solver is then compared with the originally proposed route. The values being compared include the total length of travel routes created and the associated variable costs spent on serving customers and also route design time. Thus, using the practical example of beer distribution, the manuscript has demonstrated the algorithm which is used for addressing the single-circuit transport problems. Nonetheless, possible application of the Solver tool is not limited to seeking a solution to the travelling salesman problem only. It can also be implemented even to discussing the multi-circuit transport problems with various confinements.
