  • Simulation and optimization system for retail store performance
    Publication number: 20030187708
    Abstract: A simulation and optimization system improves or optimizes the performance of a retail store. A simulator provides individual customer discounts in response to input parameters, such as price variables, customer models, and user inputs. The product price variables include purchasing costs, inventory costs, and replenishment rates. The customer models represent customer shopping behaviors. The user inputs include a store strategy providing the relative importance of profits, sales volume, and customer loyalty.

  • Individual discount system for optimizing retail store performance
    Publication number: 20030187738
    Abstract: An individual discount system uses a modified simulated annealing operation to determine the best of all possible solutions for optimizing retail store performance. The modified simulated annealing operation provides individual discounts in response to an objective function, input parameters, and customer models. The objective function is composed of several relative objectives and is a mathematical representation of the retail store strategy for optimizing performance.
