Game Modeling Possibilities in Product Assortment Management by D. A. Vlasov, P. A. Karasev, A. V. Sinchukov

“…The relevance of the research topic is due to the need of manufacturers to improve the mechanisms for managing the range of manufactured products.The following materials and methods of game modeling were used in the study: designing a set of players, designing a set of player strategies, quantitative assessment of the elements of the payoff matrix, techniques for reducing the degree of uncertainty, methods for choosing optimal strategies under conditions of complete and partial uncertainty, as well as generalizing the experience of using game models in the analysis of various economic situations.The focus is on game modeling that complements the mathematical and statistical methods traditionally used to formulate an assortment policy: mathematical programming methods - the task of optimizing an assortment given resource constraints, such as budget and stocks of raw materials used in the production process; multi-criteria choice methods - the task of taking into account several criteria when making decisions on the product assortment, such as product quality, product price, product demand, etc.; statistical analysis methods (the task of analyzing available sales data and identifying trends - regression analysis to forecast demand for manufactured products, identify relationships between various factors, such as product demand and prices, marketing efforts, seasonality, etc.; cluster analysis to segment products and customers based on previously identified characteristics, such as customer preferences and age, as well as associative analysis to identify relationships between products - determining product groups that can be presented together in the assortment); methods of time series analysis and simulation modeling (the task of forecasting demand for products based on available sales data; the task of fictitious implementation of various assortment management scenarios and quantitative assessment of their consequences).Results. …”
