# Optimise a plan Model / optimise linear programming, simulation, prescriptive optimisation Page: ## Status Not built yet. arcform does not do this yet. [Its place on the roadmap](https://meridian.online/roadmap#optimise-a-plan) ## Variants - Simulate outcomes: Sample inputs or model errors from distributions and summarise the outcomes. - Solve an optimisation problem: Find the inputs that maximise or minimise an objective under constraints. ## What other tools call it Meridian's classification; an independent blind rating agreed on 86.2% of 312 rows (exact class, version 2). - Alteryx Designer: [`Optimization`](https://help.alteryx.com/current/en/designer/tools/prescriptive/optimization-tool.html) (read 2026-09-27) - Alteryx Designer: [`Simulation Sampling`](https://help.alteryx.com/current/en/designer/tools/prescriptive/simulation-sampling-tool.html) (read 2026-09-27) - Alteryx Designer: [`Simulation Scoring`](https://help.alteryx.com/current/en/designer/tools/prescriptive/simulation-scoring-tool.html) (read 2026-09-27) - Alteryx Designer: [`Simulation Summary`](https://help.alteryx.com/current/en/designer/tools/prescriptive/simulation-summary-tool.html) (read 2026-09-27) - RapidMiner Studio: [`Prescriptive Analytics`](https://docs.rapidminer.com/latest/studio/operators/scoring/prescriptive_analytics.html) (read 2026-09-27)
