Abstract

Techniques are provided for automated item assortment selection using processor-based objective function evaluation of designated goal scores. One method comprises obtaining information characterizing a plurality of items, a performance of the plurality of items and a plurality of designated attainment goals of an organization associated with the plurality of items; applying at least portions of the obtained information to at least one algorithm to obtain data characterizing a selected item assortment comprising a subset of the plurality of items, wherein the at least one algorithm evaluates a plurality of item assortments, each comprising a different assortment of the plurality of items, wherein the selected item assortment is selected using an objective function that evaluates an attainment score for the plurality of designated attainment goals of the organization; and initiating processing steps based on the selected item assortment.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A method, comprising:

accessing at least one first data structure comprising data characterizing a plurality of items and a performance of the plurality of items;
accessing at least one second data structure comprising data characterizing a plurality of designated attainment goals of an organization associated with the plurality of items;
applying at least portions of the first data structure and the second data structure to at least one processor-based algorithm to obtain data characterizing a selected item assortment comprising a subset of the plurality of items, wherein the at least one processor-based algorithm evaluates a plurality of item assortments, each comprising a different assortment of the plurality of items from the first data structure, and wherein the selected item assortment is selected using at least one processor-based objective function that evaluates, for at least a subset of the plurality of item assortments, an attainment score for the plurality of designated attainment goals of the organization in the second data structure;
and
initiating one or more processing steps based at least in part on the selected item assortment;
wherein the method is performed by at least one processing device comprising a processor coupled to a memory.

3 more elements

An apparatus comprising:

at least one processing device comprising a processor coupled to a memory;
the at least one processing device being configured to implement the following steps:
accessing at least one first data structure comprising data characterizing a plurality of items and a performance of the plurality of items;
accessing at least one second data structure comprising data characterizing a plurality of designated attainment goals of an organization associated with the plurality of items;
applying at least portions of the first data structure and the second data structure to at least one processor-based algorithm to obtain data characterizing a selected item assortment comprising a subset of the plurality of items, wherein the at least one processor-based algorithm evaluates a plurality of item assortments, each comprising a different assortment of the plurality of items from the first data structure, and wherein the selected item assortment is selected using at least one processor-based objective function that evaluates, for at least a subset of the plurality of item assortments, an attainment score for the plurality of designated attainment goals of the organization in the second data structure;
and
initiating one or more processing steps based at least in part on the selected item assortment.

4 more elements

A non-transitory processor-readable storage medium having stored therein program code of one or more software programs, wherein the program code when executed by at least one processing device causes the at least one processing device to perform the following steps:

accessing at least one first data structure comprising data characterizing a plurality of items and a performance of the plurality of items;
accessing at least one second data structure comprising data characterizing a plurality of designated attainment goals of an organization associated with the plurality of items;
applying at least portions of the first data structure and the second data structure to at least one processor-based algorithm to obtain data characterizing a selected item assortment comprising a subset of the plurality of items, wherein the at least one processor-based algorithm evaluates a plurality of item assortments, each comprising a different assortment of the plurality of items from the first data structure, and wherein the selected item assortment is selected using at least one processor-based objective function that evaluates, for at least a subset of the plurality of item assortments, an attainment score for the plurality of designated attainment goals of the organization in the second data structure;
and
initiating one or more processing steps based at least in part on the selected item assortment.
