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.

1. A system providing control over product on-shelf availability (OSA) at multiple shopping facilities, comprising:
an OSA control system comprising:
a control circuit; anda memory coupled to the control circuit and storing computer instructions that when executed by the control circuit cause the control circuit to:
receive a future OSA goal defining a desired on-shelf availability over a defined future period of time of hundreds or more different products 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 at the multiple shopping facilities as a function of the predicted workloads relative to planned work force availability at the shopping facilities to complete work tasks at each of the multiple shopping facilities; anddetermine 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 the planned work force availability at the shopping facilities.
