Abstract:
A system ( ) for campaign planning includes a memory ( ) operable to store at least two slab values ( ) for each of a plurality of slabs ( ). The slab values ( ) for a slab are associated with at least two properties of the slab ( ). The memory ( ) is also operable to store at least one preference value ( ) identifying a relative importance between the properties of the slabs ( ). The system ( ) also includes one or more processors ( ) collectively operable to generate a sort value ( ) for each of the slabs ( ). The sort value ( ) depends at least partially on the slab value ( ) associated with the slab ( ) and the preference value ( ). The processor ( ) is also operable to allocate the slabs ( ) to a plurality of rounds ( ) in a campaign ( ). The slabs ( ) are allocated in an order depending at least partially on the sort values ( ) associated with the slabs ( ).
