Assignment methods are used not just in the business world, but also in organizational structures and a variety of other applications.
Systems and methods for joint optimization of assignments
Methods and systems for entity assignment to assign an entity of a plurality of entities to a lead resource of at least two lead resources may include receiving a score for each entity of the plurality of entities. The method may further include determining a ranking of the plurality of entities based upon the score for each entity and receiving a distance between each entity of the plurality of entities and each lead resource of the at least two lead resources, wherein the plurality of entities are greater in number than the at least two lead resources. The method may also include applying an optimization algorithm based on the ranking and the distance between each entity and each lead resource and updating the optimization algorithm in real-time until each entity of the plurality of entities is paired to one of the at least two lead resources.
