论文摘要
分类计划是任何零售商的重要季节性活动,涉及选择在每个商店中库存的正确子集。虽然现有的方法只能通过HIGG材料可持续性指数最大化预期收入,但我们也建议包括环境影响包括环境影响。通过多目标优化方法平衡了收入和环境影响之间的权衡,从而产生了最佳分类的帕累托,可供选择。在领先的时装零售商的一些产品类别上,使用拟议的方法表明,选择具有较低环境影响的各种产品对收入的影响最小。
Assortment planning, an important seasonal activity for any retailer, involves choosing the right subset of products to stock in each store.While existing approaches only maximize the expected revenue, we propose including the environmental impact too, through the Higg Material Sustainability Index. The trade-off between revenue and environmental impact is balanced through a multi-objective optimization approach, that yields a Pareto-front of optimal assortments for merchandisers to choose from. Using the proposed approach on a few product categories of a leading fashion retailer shows that choosing assortments with lower environmental impact with a minimal impact on revenue is possible.
