Space clusters are ad-hoc groups of stores used for optimization. Figure 8-1 shows the flow of an assortment through ASO.ĭescription of ''Figure 8-1 ASO Assortment Flow''ĪSO supports store level and space cluster level optimizations runs. The recommended product level data is used inside CMPO, while the virtual planograms created in ASO are available for use in space planning applications.
The products that are selected for the VPOGs are the ones that ASO recommends for the finalized assortment. (A VPOG is ASO's assortment recommendations in product facings, depth, stacking, and SKU order in form of a planogram.) In short, ASO generates space-informed optimal product assortments in the form of a virtual planogram. ASO uses information about available space in stores, product dimensions, fixture configurations, expected demand and demand transference, replenishment schedules, target service levels, merchandising rules, visual guidelines, and category goals to create VPOGs that optimize total performance. Assortment and Space Optimization (ASO) is used to determine the optimal selection and arrangement of products within stores by optimizing the product assortment and product placement on a planogram.
