Computer-implemented system and method for performance assessment
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for assessing performance-related data for a preselected set of performers, comprising the steps of:
- receiving data about performance measures of a first performer;
receiving business logic rules related to at least one of the performance measures;
constructing a mathematical optimization program that includes an overall performance rating as an objective function; and
using the mathematical optimization program to optimize the overall performance rating of the first performer by adjusting a set of weights constrained by the business logic rules;
wherein the overall performance rating is used to assess the performance of the first performer.

Abstract
A computer-implemented method and system for assessing performance-related data for a preselected set of performers. Performance measures data are received for performers as well as business logic rules that are related to at least one of the performance measures. A mathematical optimization program is constructed to include an overall performance rating as an objective function. The mathematical optimization program is used to optimize the overall performance rating of the performers by adjusting a set of weights constrained by the business logic rules. The overall performance rating is used to assess the performance of the performers.

20. A computer-implemented apparatus for analyzing performance measures data for a preselected set of performers, comprising:
-
a constraint engine that constructs constraints based upon business logic rules, said business logic rules being related to at least one measurement contained within the performance measures data;
a mathematical optimization program connected to the constraint engine that includes an overall performance rating as an objective function;
said mathematical optimization program using the performance measures data to optimize the overall performance rating of the performers by adjusting a set of weights constrained by the business logic constraints, wherein the overall performance rating is used to assess the performance of the performers. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32)
