Title:
OPTIMIZATION SYSTEM, OPTIMIZATION METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2017/135322
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
In order to associate an optimal solution for price that optimizes sales proceeds with risk (a prediction error range) not used in calculating the optimal solution and to output the optimal solution, this optimization system includes: an indicator reception means that, when a prediction formula for predicting sales numbers for a given product is expressed as a function of the price of the product, receives input of an indicator that stochastically indicates a prediction error range for prediction values for sales numbers calculated on the basis of the prediction formula; and an optimization means that optimizes price to maximize sales proceeds found, under constraints, from an objective function for finding sales proceeds that is established to incorporate sales numbers and price. The optimization means uses the prediction values as input and optimizes price to increase the minimum value for sales proceeds within the prediction error range indicated by the indicator.
