RISK-ASSESSMENT BASED DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEM FOR STRATEGIC PRODUCT LOCALIZATION

摘要

A method includes performing operations as follows on a processor: receiving a description of a plurality of products, each product in the plurality of products having a local geographic feature that is configurable in one of a plurality of geographic configurations, receiving a description of priorities associated with the plurality of products, generating a risk based on the priorities, generating a risk mitigating treatment based on the risk, generating, for each of the plurality of products, a plurality of product localization scores corresponding to the plurality of geographic configurations, respectively, each of the plurality of product localization scores indicating a relative amount of the risk mitigated by the risk mitigating treatment with the local geographic feature having the respective geographic configuration, generating a plurality of global localization scores based on the plurality of product localization scores, each of the plurality of global localization scores corresponding to the plurality of products having one of a plurality of combinations of the geographic configurations, and determining how to configure the local geographic feature for each of the plurality of products based on the plurality of global localization scores.

1. A method comprising:
performing operations as follows on a processor: receiving a description of a plurality of products, each product in the plurality of products having a local geographic feature that is configurable in one of a plurality of geographic configurations; receiving a description of priorities associated with the plurality of products; generating a risk based on the priorities; generating a risk mitigating treatment based on the risk; generating, for each of the plurality of products, a plurality of product localization scores corresponding to the plurality of geographic configurations, respectively, each of the plurality of product localization scores indicating a relative amount of the risk mitigated by the risk mitigating treatment with the local geographic feature having the respective geographic configuration; generating a plurality of global localization scores based on the plurality of product localization scores, each of the plurality of global localization scores corresponding to the plurality of products having one of a plurality of combinations of the geographic configurations; and determining how to configure the local geographic feature for each of the plurality of products based on the plurality of global localization scores.
