Development of a software tool for finding the optimal portfolio of wholesale purchases of a trading enterprise

The purpose of writing this work is to develop a software tool for finding the optimal portfolio of wholesale purchases of a trading enterprise. The software is developed on the basis of the created mathematical models and functional model. The mathematical models takes into account the restrictions on the volume of working capital spent on wholesale purchases of goods, restrictions on the volume of goods in the warehouse of wholesale purchases, demand constraints and some others. The functional model describes the structure of the system for determining the optimal portfolio of wholesale purchases of a trading company and created on the basis of graphical notation IDEF0. The operation principle of the algorithm is illustrated by a block diagram. The algorithm of the software is based on the branch and bound method. The work of the software is demonstrated on a practical example of searching for the optimal portfolio of wholesale purchases of ventilation equipment. A software tool can be of interest to managers who are developing a wholesale purchase plan.
