Appl. No.:

09/965121

Inventors:

Rick Braumoeller - Bainbridge Island WA, US
Richard Brinkerhoff - Burien WA, US
Jeff Holden - Seattle WA, US
Dennis Lee - Mercer Island WA, US

Assignee:

Amazon Technologies, Inc - Reno NV

International Classification:

G06Q 30/00

US Classification:

705330

Abstract:

A method, system, and computer-readable medium for dynamically generating actual fulfillment plans for a current order or a potential order so as to enhance the future fulfillment process for expected future orders is described. In some situations, actual delivery information based on one or more such actual fulfillment plans will then be provided to a customer, such as by displaying actual delivery date and/or time before or during the ordering process based on one or more actual fulfillment plans that can be or will be used to fulfill the order. A variety of types of criteria can be used to evaluate the effects of using a fulfillment plan to fulfill a current order, including criteria that consider the modeled future cost of fulfilling expected future orders, such as an overall cost of fulfilling all orders during a specified time period that is at least partially in the future.
