摘要： A repeatability score is described for determining the quality and reliability of product sales data for generating seasonal demand forecasts. The repeatability scores are calculated from seasonal sales data stored in a data warehouse. Products are sorted based on their reliability scores such that those products that are highly seasonal and have a reliable year-to-year demand pattern are used to form initial or unique demand models. Products that are determined to be less reliable based on their repeatability score are added to the unique demand models through an iterative matching process or left out of the unique demand models.

摘要： A method and system for determining distribution center or warehouse product order quantities of a slow selling product. The method includes the step of determining for each one of a plurality of stores supplied by the distribution center, a store order forecast for the slow selling product. The method generates a random beginning on-hand inventory value for stores with inventories below a minimum inventory threshold value. Store order forecasts are thereafter determined by subtracting the random beginning on-hand inventory value from store sales forecasts when the beginning on-hand inventory value is less than the minimum inventory threshold value, and subtracting the actual beginning on-hand inventory value from the store sales forecasts when the beginning on-hand inventory value is not less than the minimum inventory threshold value. The individual store order forecasts are accumulated to generate a distribution center demand forecast; which is compared with current and projected inventory levels for the product at the distribution center to determine distribution center order quantities necessary for maintaining a product inventory level sufficient to meet the distribution center demand forecast for the product.

摘要： An improved method for forecasting and modeling product demand for a product during promotional periods. The forecasting methodology employs a multivariable regression model to model the causal relationship between product demand and the attributes of past promotional activities. The model is utilized to calculate the promotional uplift from the coefficients of the regression equation. The methodology utilizes a mathematical formulation that transforms regression coefficients, a combination of additive and multiplicative coefficients, into a single promotional uplift coefficient that can be used directly in promotional demand forecasting calculations.

摘要： A partitioning system that provides a fast, simple and flexible method for partitioning a dataset. The process, executed within a computer system, retrieves product and sales data from a data store. Data items are selected and sorted by a data attribute of interest to a user and a distribution curve is determined for the selected data and data attribute. The total length of the distribution curve is calculated, and then the curve is divided into k equal pieces, where k is the number of the partitions. The selected data is thereafter partitioned into k groups corresponding to the curve divisions.

摘要： An improved method for forecasting and modeling product demand for a product. The forecasting methodology blends information about the future price of a product with historical sales data to better forecast the future product demand. This forecasting methodoloy takes into account three main parameters that may affect the future demand for a product: seasonality (using seasonal factors), recent sales trends (through average rate of sale analysis) and the product price (by estimating the price driven demand).

摘要： An improved method for forecasting and modeling product demand for a product during promotional periods. The forecasting methodology employs information about prior promotional demand forecasts, prior product sales, and the data dispersion and the number of data samples in a product class hierarchy to dynamically determine the optimal level at which to compute promotional uplift coefficients. The methodology calculates confidence values for promotional uplift coefficients for products at each level in a merchandise product hierarchy, and uses the confidence values as a filter to determine the optimal level for promotional uplift aggregation.

摘要： An improved method and system for forecasting product demand using a causal methodology, based on multiple regression techniques. The improved causal method revises product group seasonal factors used by conventional forecasting applications to best fit the sales pattern of an individual product in the product group through the calculation of an exponential coefficient which measures the deviation of the historical sales pattern of an individual product from the product group seasonal factors. The value of exponential coefficient is calculated using a causal framework through multivariable regression analysis.

摘要： An improved method for forecasting and modeling product demand for a product. The forecasting methodology employs a causal methodology, based on multiple regression techniques, to model the effects of various factors on product demand, and hence better forecast future patterns and trends, improving the efficiency and reliability of the inventory management systems. The improved method identifies linear dependent causal factors and removes redundant causal factors from the regression analysis. A product demand forecast is generated by blending forecast or expected values of the non-redundant causal factors together with corresponding regression coefficients determined through the analysis of historical product demand and factor information.
