You may use Excel or GAMS. I recommend GAMS. If you are using Excel, I recommend OpenSolver.
I Highly recommend that you use GAMS for this problem.Alveva Subscription Box Service

After customers receive their subscription boxes, they can indicate the products they did not enjoy through a monthly survey. The Analytics Department at Alveva uses this information to categorize customers into 10 subscriber types. The number of customers that belong to each subscriber type is given in Table 2. In addition to collecting subscribers’ feedback, the firm also keeps track of the products that the customers receive each month to ensure the delivery of new items in each box. The ones in Table 2 indicate a product that a subscriber type must not receive in their next box. For example, subscriber type 1 must not receive moisturizer A, lipstick C, concealer B, highlighters A and B, and nail polish D in their next monthly box. The same box should be sent to all subscribers of the same type. At most 80000 units of each product type can be produced due to resource limits.
