Abstract: A computer-implemented method for balancing workload among one or more locations is disclosed. The method may comprise: receiving data associated with a workload forecast for a first location and a second location, the data comprising a number of orders expected to be received for the first and second locations for a predetermined period of time; determining a first set of ratios of workload forecast for the locations relative to a first sum of the workload forecast for the first and second locations, the first set of ratios comprising at least a first forecast ratio for the first location and a second forecast ratio for the second location; receiving electronic orders for the predetermined period of time, the electronic orders comprising one or more groups of items and being assigned to one of the locations; and reassigning a first subset of electronic orders for the first location to the second location.

Abstract: The embodiments of the present disclosure provide systems and methods for outbound forecasting, comprising receiving an initial distribution of priority values to each fulfillment center (FC) in each region, running a simulation, using a simulation algorithm, of the initial distribution, calculating an outbound capacity utilization value of each FC, determining a number of FCs comprising an outbound capacity utilization value that exceeds a predetermined threshold, feeding the simulation algorithm with the determined number of FCs to generate one or more additional distributions of priority values, generating a FC priority filter comprising an optimal set of priority values based on the one or more additional distributions of priority values, and modifying an allocation of a plurality of SKUs among a plurality of FCs based on the generated FC priority filter.

Abstract: The embodiments of the present disclosure provide systems and methods for outbound forecasting, comprising receiving an initial distribution of postal codes mapped to each region, running a simulation of the initial distribution, calculating an outbound capacity utilization value of each FC, determining a number of FCs comprising an outbound capacity utilization value that exceeds a predetermined threshold, feeding an optimization heuristic with at least one of the postal codes mapped to a region from the initial distribution to generate one or more additional distributions of postal codes, generating an optimal distribution of postal codes mapped to each region based on the one or more additional distributions of postal codes, and modify an allocation of customer orders among a plurality of FCs based on the generated optimal distribution of postal codes. Running the simulation may comprise simulating an allocation of customer orders based on the initial distribution of postal codes.
