Abstract: The present disclosure relates to scenario-management systems for use in resource-allocation systems. In an exemplary embodiment, a scenario editor comprises means for creating, editing, and storing business rules, rule groups, and in a database; and means for creating links among selected business rules, rule groups, and scenarios, such that changes to a first business rule, rule group, or scenario are reflected in a second business rule, rule group, or scenario linked to the first. In further embodiments, the scenario editor further comprises means for associating a scenario with a particular time period. In a further exemplary embodiment, a scenario-management system comprises a central database of business rules, and a processor configured to identify an active scenario, create a list of rule IDs corresponding to the business rules associated with the active scenario, and pass the list of rule IDs to a resource-allocation module.
