Data mining techniques for enhancing shelf-space management

摘要

A computer method for enhancing shelf-space management. The method includes the steps of providing a shelf-space-requirements database comprising a compendium of individual shelf-space-requirements history; providing a shelf-space-availability database comprising a compendium of at least one of shelf-space management solutions, shelf-space information, and shelf-space diagnostics; and, employing a data mining technique for interrogating the shelf-space-requirements and shelf-space-availability databases for generating an output data stream, the output data stream correlating shelf-space-requirements problem with shelf-space-availability solution.
