Abstract

A system and method for presenting information that evaluates a decision to allocate an asset are presented. In example embodiments, the method includes receiving an allocation request from a user to allocate an asset to a request location, matching the request with the asset to be allocated, determining a benefit score and a detriment score associated with the allocation and presenting the level of benefit and the level of detriment to the user. In example embodiments, the method further includes receiving a user action to confirm the allocation of an asset and adjusting a schedule to reflect the allocation. In example embodiments, the method further includes displaying an alert notification based on the scheduled availability of an asset type compared to the historic demand for that asset type.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A server system comprising:
one or more processors of a machine; and
a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, causes the machine to perform operations comprising:
determining, by the server system, a readiness score associated with a request location based on a comparison of a scheduled quantity of an asset type at the request location and a historic demand quantity of the asset type at the location;
in response to determining the readiness score associated with the location transgresses a threshold readiness score, causing display of an alert notification within a user interface presented by a client device, the alert notification indicating a deficiency in the scheduled quantity of the asset type at the request location based on the historic demand quantity;
receiving, at the server system, from the client device, a request submitted via the user interface presented by the client device, the request specifying the request location, an identifier of the asset type to be allocated to the request location, and a requested quantity of the asset type to be allocated to the request location;
accessing at the server system, a plurality of schedule records from a network accessible database, each schedule record identifying a destination location and an allocated quantity of the asset type corresponding to the destination location;
calculating by the server system, for at least one destination location, a detriment score associated with reallocation of a reallocation quantity of the asset type from the at least one destination location based at least in part on a model distribution that specifies a baseline quantity of the asset type associated with the at least one destination location, the detriment score providing a measure of detriment to the at least one destination location caused by reallocation of the reallocation quantity of the asset type from the at least one destination location to the request location; and
responsive to receiving the request, causing by the server system, the user interface to display:
a list of destination locations,
a fulfillment indicator to indicate a portion of the requested quantity of the asset type that is fulfilled by a combination of user-specified reallocation quantities of the asset type from each destination location in the list of destination locations, and
for the at least one destination location: the allocated quantity of the asset type, an indicator of the detriment score associated with reallocation of reallocation quantity of the asset type from the at least one destination location, and an input element to specify the reallocation quantity of the asset type to reallocate to the request location.

2. The system of claim 1 , further comprising determining a benefit score that provides a measure of benefit to the request location associated with reallocation of the reallocation quantity of the asset type from the at least one destination location to the request location; and
causing presentation of the benefit score within the user interface presented on the client device.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the calculating of the detriment score includes determining a gap score based on a difference between the allocated quantity and the model distribution.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the determining of the detriment score includes determining a transport score based on an amount of resources needed to the reallocation quantity of the asset type from the at least one destination location to the request location.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the determining of the detriment score includes determining an activity score that reflects activity of an asset at a current location of the asset.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the determining of the detriment score includes determining a maintenance score based on a current state of rep air of one or more assets of the asset type.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the determining of the detriment score includes determining a location-demand score based on a first prospective future demand of the asset type corresponding to the request location and a second prospective future demand of the asset type corresponding to the at least one destination location.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein operations further comprise:
assigning a rank to each destination location based on a detriment score associated with each destination location; and

wherein the list of destination locations is presented in ranked order.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the operations further comprise adjusting the rank based on user preference data.

10. The system of claim 1 , wherein operations further comprise:
receiving a request to reallocate reallocation quantity of the asset type from the at least one destination location to the request location; and
in response to receiving the request, modifying a schedule record in the database to reflect a reallocation of the reallocation quantity of the asset type from the at least one destination location to the request location.

11. A method comprising:
determining, by the server system, a readiness score associated with a request location based on a comparison of a scheduled quantity of an asset type at the request location and a historic demand quantity of the asset type at the location;
in response to determining the readiness score associated with the location transgresses a threshold readiness score, causing display of an alert notification within a user interface presented by a client device, the alert notification indicating a deficiency in the scheduled quantity of the asset type at the request location based on the historic demand quantity;
receiving at a server machine comprising one or more processors, from the client device, a request submitted via the user interface presented by the client device, the request specifying the request location, an identifier of the asset type to be allocated to the request location, and a requested quantity of the asset type to be allocated to the request location;
accessing at the server machine, a plurality of schedule records from a network accessible database, each schedule record identifying a destination location and an allocated quantity of the asset type corresponding to the destination location;
calculating by the server machine, for at least one destination location, a detriment score associated with reallocation of a reallocation quantity from the at least one destination location based in part on a model distribution that specifies a baseline quantity of the asset type associated with the at least one destination location, the detriment score providing a measure of detriment to the at least one destination location caused by reallocation of reallocation quantity of the asset type to the request location; and
responsive to receiving the request, causing by the server machine, the user interface to display:
a list of destination locations,
a fulfillment indicator to indicate a portion of the requested quantity of the asset type that is fulfilled by a combination of user-specified reallocation quantities of the asset type from each destination location in the list of destination locations, and
for the at least one destination location: the allocated quantity of the asset type, an indicator of the detriment score associated with reallocation of reallocation quantity of the asset type from the at least one destination location, and an input element to specify the reallocation quantity of the asset type to reallocate to the request location.

12. The method of claim 11 , further comprising determining a benefit score that pr
