A technique for efficiently and accurately minimizing costs associated with services provided by a plurality of service providers (SPs) that bill for their services based on a tiered cost structure. Target tiers are generated based on the utilization of the SPs' services and the SPs' cost structures. Utilization of the SPs' services is monitored. A momentary target utilization rate (MTUR) is generated for each SP based on the cumulated utilization of the SP's service and the SP's target tier. Utilization of the SPs' services is distributed based on the generated MTURs in a manner that minimizes cost. If the utilization of the SPs' services indicates the MTURs have been exceeded, new target tiers and MTURs are generated and utilization of the SPs' services is redistributed among the SPs in a manner that minimizes cost.

L'invention concerne une technique destinée à réduire avec efficacité et précision les coûts associés à des services fournis par une pluralité de fournisseurs de services (SP) facturant leurs services sur la base d'une structure de coûts à plusieurs niveaux. Des niveaux cibles sont générés sur la base de l'utilisation des services des SP et des structures de coûts des SP. L'utilisation des services des SP est surveillée. Une fréquence d'utilisation cible momentanée (MTUR) est générée pour chaque SP sur la base de l'utilisation cumulée du service des SP et du niveau cible des SP. L'utilisation des services des SP est distribuée sur la base des MTUR en vue d'une réduction des coûts. Si l'utilisation de services des SP indique que les MTUR ont été dépassées, de nouveaux niveaux cibles et de nouvelles MTUR sont générés et l'utilisation des services des SP est redistribuée parmi les SP en vue d'une réduction des coûts.
