Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for determining a plurality of pack configurations to make available for distribution to a plurality of stores, wherein a pack configuration contains a particular number of units of each of a plurality of variations of a product. An allowable pack size constraint, a maximum pack configuration constraint, mismatch cost data, and product demand data for the plurality of stores are received. A first pack and a second pack for the store are determined, wherein the first pack contains a particular number of each of the variations of the product, wherein the first pack meets the allowable pack size constraint and minimizes mismatch costs for the store. Stores are clustered based on similarity of their demand data until the total pack configuration amount across all clusters meets the maximum pack configuration constraint.
