Methods and apparatus for scheduling delivery of an order via a wide area
network. A computer system associates a customer point value with each
customer according to a customer point system. The customer point values
is determined with reference to customer order data. The computer system
then divides the customers into customer groups, each of which has a
range of customer point values. The system determines an actual capacity
allocation distribution among the customer groups based on the customer
order data. The system adjusts the range of customer point values for
customer groups to cause the actual capacity allocation distribution to
converge to a target capacity allocation distribution.
