Tiivistelmä: | Reseachers Balakrishnan an Jacob (1996) have tried to identify a single new product which is optimal for markets. In this identification process they tried to use conjoint data and Genetic Algorithms (GA) methodology. This article extends and evaluates this GA approach and regards a problem of designing product lines. The authors consider the economic criteria and profit contribution of companies. They also make a Monte Carlo simulation in which they assess the methodology of the GA. |
