CARTON INVENTORY OPTIMIZATION

摘要

Computer program products, methods, systems, apparatus, and computing entities for carton inventory optimization are provided. An example method comprises: (a) receiving historical shipping data corresponding to a time period, the historical shipping data comprising items that were shipped during the time period and their respective dimensions; (b) associating a rank to each of a plurality of carton sizes for each item; (c) associating a highest ranked carton size for each item at least in part on step (b); and (d) determining whether a desired level of optimization has been reached. Another example method may further comprise: (e) after determining that the desired level of optimization has not been reached, identifying at least one carton size; and (f) re-associating items that were associated with the at least one identified carton size to the next highest ranked carton size for each item.

1. A method for carton inventory optimization comprising the steps of:
(a) receiving historical shipping data corresponding to a time period, the historical shipping data comprising items that have been shipped during the time period and their respective dimensions; (b) associating a rank to each of a plurality of carton sizes for each item; (c) associating a highest ranked carton size for each item based at least in part on step (b); and (d) determining whether a desired level of optimization has been reached.
