Abstract: Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with assigning supply to demand from multiple supply sources are described. In one embodiment, a method includes sorting a set of demands by size of demand. A set of assignments between demands belonging to the set of demands and supplies at multiple sources is generated. The set of assignments is generated by, for the demands in ascending order of the size of demand, identifying from among the multiple sources a set of sources having sufficient supply to fill the demand, choosing one source from the set of sources from which to fill the demand, and assigning the demand to be filled from one or more supplies of the one source to form an assignment for the demand in the set of assignments. Supplies are allocated to the demands belonging to the set of demands in accordance with the set of assignments.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with selection of supply locations from among multiple candidate locations in order to maximize fulfillment of orders that include multiple item types when there is a shortage of one or more of the item types are described. In one embodiment, a method includes accessing a plurality of orders that include multiple types of items and a plurality of candidate locations for fulfilling the orders. Candidate locations are then selected to fulfill individual orders based on finding the one of the candidate locations that has a lowest value for a flexibility metric. A user interface is generated to display the assignments. In response to a request to finalize the assignments, allocation instructions are generated to allocate the multiple types of items to the orders in accordance with the finalized instructions.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with minimizing (unfulfilled orders) due to short supply in an order fulfillment context are described. One embodiment includes: Identifying one or more Distributions within a timeframe. For each of the Distributions, identifying a set of maximal excess configurations of met and unmet demands from a set of all demands for the product during the Distribution. Creating a current output set of configurations. Assigning supply units for at least one configuration of a final output set for a final Distribution within the timeframe. Transmitting an instruction to fulfill demands in accordance with the assignments.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and other embodiments for sorting-based assignment to optimize order fulfillment with short supply. One embodiment includes identifying a set of one or more distributions within a series of days. Sorting all demands of a first priority level occurring in the series of days by ascending order of size of the demand. For each demand of the first priority level in sorted order, (a) selecting an initial distribution during which the demand is scheduled to be fulfilled from the set of distributions, and (b) generating an indication that the demand can cannot be completely fulfilled, based on the size of the demand and the amount of supply available. Automatically arranging a graphical representation of a schedule of supplies and met and unmet demands for the series of days in a graphical user interface based at least on the indications generated for each demand.
