  • Methods and interface for set-partitioning decision support tool
    Patent number: 8005733
    Abstract: A visual interactive multi-criteria decision-making method and computer-based apparatus for portfolio management. The method/apparatus supports partitioning of a portfolio of physical or other assets into two mutually exclusive categories, such as assets recommended for sale and assets recommended for retention. The method/apparatus utilizes one or more coupled 2-D projections of the portfolio in criteria space. The user interacts with the projections to express and record preferences.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 28, 2006
    Date of Patent: August 23, 2011
    Assignee: General Electric Capital Corporation
    Inventors: Rajesh Venkat Subbu, Kete Chalermkraivuth, Jose R. Celaya, James G. Russo, John Andrew Ellis, Hoai-Hai Doan, Melissa Ialeggio, Matthew Allen
  • System and software for providing recommendations to optimize a portfolio of items
    Patent number: 7822669
    Abstract: A method of operating a computer system includes storing, in the computer system, a database containing performance measure data regarding performance measures of a plurality of items. The method further includes inputting into the computer system a plurality of performance measure constraints. The method also includes modeling the performance measure constraints with a set of equations. The equations include a plurality of variables. Each of the variables corresponds to a respective one of the items. Each variable is, for example, to be assigned either the value “1” or the value “0”. The value “1” may represent a recommendation to take an action relative to the corresponding item in the portfolio and the value “0” may represent a recommendation to take another action. The computer system is used to solve the set of equations to generate one or more solutions that satisfy the performance measure constraints.
