SYSTEMS AND METHODS TO FORECAST AND IMPROVE PRODUCT ON-SHELF AVAILABILITY

摘要

Methods, systems and apparatus are provided in predicting an On-Shelf-Availability (OSA) and/or implementing modifications to achieve a desired OSA. Some embodiments provide a system, comprising: A system comprising: an OSA control system comprising a control circuit that executes instructions from a memory to cause the control circuit to: receive a future OSA goal at the multiple shopping facilities; receive predicted workloads corresponding to the defined period of time and predicted to be assigned to the multiple shopping facilities; determine a forecasted OSA as a function of the predicted workloads relative to the planned work force availability at the shopping facilities to complete the work tasks at each of the shopping facilities; and determine whether the forecasted OSA is predicted to be within an OSA threshold of the OSA goal as a function of the predicted workloads relative to planned work force availability at the shopping facilities.
