<p>The present invention is a graphical user interface (GUI) [see Figure 8] for use in an Executive Information System (EIS) for managerial planning applications that experience long-range weather impact. The EIS is referred to as a Long-range Executive Information System (LEWISTM) [see Figure 8]. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the LEWIS?TM? system is used to calculate and display to a user the impact of weather on retail planning applications [902, 904, 906, 908, 910, 912]. However, the present invention applies to all industries beyond retailing that experience weather impact, including, but not limited to, personal care, utilities, energy, agriculture, consumer products, insurance, transportation, outdoor events, chemicals, pharmaceutical, and construction.</p> |
