Title:
MULTI-BASE INVENTORY DEPLOYMENT COMPUTATION DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2013/021702
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The invention displays multiple inventory period combinations, as multiple multi-base inventory deployment proposals having assessed values for items such as cash flow and inventory value, each of said assessed values being within a range entered by an inventory deployment decision-maker. For each product included in request information, the invention finds a minimum period (the total lead time from when a given item leaves the applicable warehouse until the item reaches the base that sells the applicable product) and a maximum period (the total lead time needed for all component parts configuring the item to reach the warehouse, added to the minimum period), for each item configuring said product and each warehouse base. The invention computes product-specific inventory period combination information for each warehouse base, and creates inventory period combination information by combining said product-specific inventory period combination information for each product type. The invention performs an inventory management calculation for the inventory period combination information, computes the value of an assessment index, and compares said value to the maximum value thereof. The invention selects an inventory period combination having an assessment index value within a permitted range, as a candidate display proposal. For the candidate display proposal, the invention computes a display evaluation value for each display proposal evaluation item by multiplying a display evaluation coefficient by an inventory value.
