Optimizing Shipments with Dual While Loops: A Step-by-Step Solution
Here’s a detailed solution on how to implement the while loops for both TO_SHIP and EXTRA_SHIP. The idea is to use two separate while loops to allocate the shipments. The outer while loop will control the allocation of TO_SHIP, and the inner while loop will control the allocation of EXTRA_SHIP. Both loops will sort the dataframe by Wk_bal before each iteration. Here’s a sample code snippet: df['SEND_PKGS'] = 0 df['SEND_EXTRA_PKGS'] = 0 while df['TO_SHIP'].
