Flash Sale

International Mathematical Modelling Challenge

We developed objective function to estimate the “destructiveness” of a particular arrangement of goods, when there are many customers during a flash sale. We also used a Genetic Algorithm to optimize the position of goods on shelves in a store during flash sale, to minimize possible damage.
