DETAIL DESCRIPTION OF INVENTION
The present invention is the tool seeks to Demand Plan, Cost manage, Inventory manage and Optimise Inventory by forecasting its demand over the time and by using the same methods for simulating the distribution of the same over a fixed period time.
The tool includes an inventory management system that utilizes the machine learning under a continuous review model.
The continuous review model determines two quantities for each item, a reorder point and an order quantity. When the inventory is about to exhaust and reach a reorder point, an order is placed for an amount equal to the one which was placed formerly to replenish stock.
This tool helps in not only forecasting order placed for its next renewal but also calculates a forecast pattern for entire distribution cycle by using a periodic review model, which determines a review interval and “Order-Up-To Level.”
The status of the on-hand inventory is checked only at fixed intervals called “review periods,” i.e. every 1 month. There will be shrinkage in on-hand inventory during a review period. when this occurs, the contingency given to user would to go with an option of placing a replenishment order large enough to return the total inventory.
In addition to providing the above re-order information for continuous and periodic review models, the tool also provides performance measures. Performance measures depend not only on the demand forecasts, but also on economic, operational and service level factors or values supplied. The economic factors include costs for holding and ordering inventory. The operational factors specify what happens when demand exceeds on-hand inventory, i.e., lost orders or back orders. The service level factors include a choice of service level criterion and the minimum acceptable value for that criterion.
The approach taken for forecasting intermittent demand in accordance with this tool involves the use of various machine learning algorithms. The machine learning algorithms can be defined as a method of computational inference based on creating simulated replicates by re-sampling the historical data.The machine learning algorithms creates a plurality of sets of predicted future values, wherein each set of predicted future values is based on the sampling of historical data. The plurality of sets (or their sums) creates a distribution that can thereafter be statistically analysed or inputted into an inventory control system. The advantage of utilizing machine learning algorithms for forecasting intermittent data is that it not only reproduces standard results in standard situations, but it also applies to situations that lack analytical formulas or that violate the assumptions on which available formulas are based.
The tool relates to a system and method for demand forecasting, as discussed in detail below in connection with FIGS. 1-4.
The basic assumptions of a time series model are that there is information about the past, this information can be quantified in the form of data, and the pattern of the past will continue into the future. The tool is adjustable depending on the needs of the user. The time series model of a product's daily volume depends on many factors, which can be grouped into execution factors,

trend/festive/seasonality, and market factors. Execution factors (e.g. market, weekdays, number of stores, where the product is on sale, when and where products are sold out, etc.) can be adjusted macroscopically in the following year, but are hard to quantify and predict. Factors are mainly determined by the inventory of the product and can be quantified. The strategy can also be planned and adjusted in real time. Market factors (e.g., event, trend, climate, time on sale, holidays, etc.) reflect the acceptance level of the consumers to the products, the change of the purchasing power, and the market saturation level. Market factors vary with time and product so that different products might behave differently under the same circumstances.
The FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing processing steps carried out by the engine 10 for developing a time series model. Starting in step, a quantity selling rate is defined to represent the demand in order to eliminate the influences from execution factors on sales volume. The quantity rate of certain product within a given period is defined as the number of products sold per store per day with stock.
FIG. 7 showshypothetical previous, current, and estimated volumes. Such data could be used for inventory optimization in the executing and adjusting stages. Once the modelling parameters are available, the actual volume can be reproduced by applying the execution factors to the quantity, i.e., multiplying the quantity by the number of stores across the markets and the number of flow days. The forecasting can then be used to optimize the purchase plan and improve the inventory management in advance, and optimize the pricing strategy during operation. Thus, the forecasting results can be used as a guide for price adjustments.
The Machine Learning (ML) provides a mathematical framework for decision-making. The outcome has a random is a component that is under the control of the decision maker.
The throughput of this Machine Learning Process is to pre-determine the market behaviour to certain conditions
This ML approach will help in Demand Planning, Cost management, Inventory management, forecasting and Inventoryoptimisation, Most Importantly it would also be focused on driving process automation that is targeted to increase the organic growth of the company.
The system and product can provide personalized customer relationship by monitoring, managing, evaluating highly complex processes.
The ML provides a mathematical framework for decision-making problems where the outcome has a random component and a component that is under the control of the decision maker. FIG. 7-11 shows plot illustrating processing steps carried out by the system for conducting ananalysis to calculate a demand forecast for a product. In many industries (e.g., consumption pattern and retail industry), many products are ‘like’or ‘dis-like’goods without historical sales records, which can be described by their physical properties and other derived properties. For example, for freezer-temperature(e.g., meat, chicken patty, etc.), the dryer -temperature type (e.g., vegetable). The assumption of analysis is that if two products share the same key characteristics, their model parameters should be similar, if not the same (i.e., more characteristics the products share, likelier for their parameters to be the same). To get an initial estimate of the model parameters to forecast the demand for a brand new product, analysis is performed on the intrinsic properties of the products.

2. Detailed Description
The product is a business analytics tool that forecast food productspresent within a store on a monthly, weekly and daily basis. The product uses various machine learning algorithms that monitor, analyse, optimise and give results at 95% confidence level.
Time Series Forecasting provides an interactive user interface to visualise and forecast time series. The user interface allows users to compare fitted time series models and forecasts with several algorithms including.The data is fetch from the system by setting query in Oracle/SQL data base. To carry out statistical computing that needs very advanced and complex SQL queries that pull data from Database platform (NetSuite). This database is a Relational database system that are stored in a normalized format. R connects to relational databases like MySql, Oracle, Sql server and fetch records as a data frame. After fetching the data from server to R, the statistical computing is done and Forecast models are develop using Machine learning approach. The models provide an interactive user interface to visualise and forecast time series. The tool allows users to compare fitted time series models and forecasts with several algorithms including:
• Holt-Winters (HW): The Holt-Winters exponential smoothing is applied for data exhibits for trends and seasonality. Holt-Winters exponential smoothing estimates the level, slope and seasonal component at the current time point. This algorithm is applied for forecasting sales of product during festivals and events to allow user to adjust for surge in inventory.
• ARIMA with Fourier Transform (FTARIMA): Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) models applied is an explicit statistical model for the irregular component of a time series that allows for non-zero autocorrelations in the irregular component. This is method is applied for estimating the impact and forecasting for seasonality such as month end and week end. ARIMA models are defined for stationary time series. Therefore, if start off with a non-stationary time series, it will first need to 'difference' the time series until the obtain a stationary time series. A Fourier series approach where the seasonal pattern is modelled using
The advantages of this approach are:
• It allows any length of seasonality.
• For data with more than one seasonal period, you can include Fourier terms of different frequencies;
• The seasonal pattern is smooth for small values.
• The short-term dynamics are easily handled with a simple ARMA error.
• TBATS: TBATS is an exponential smoothing model with Box-Cox transformation, ARMA, trend
and seasonal components. It tunes its parameters automatically. Though a very good model
that operate in a completely automated manner. It means the application has no manual
intervention and perform for better forecasting.

• HYBRID: The hybrid Model function fits multiple individual model specifications to allow easy creation of ensemble forecasts. It provides the best result for the product as since it works on the data that is already delivering the accuracy of 85% and help in optimising that accuracy by 95% across all product on monthly weekly and Daily basis.
3. Measures of Forecast Accuracy (Performance Metrics)
In order the tool described above, over 3 million data series of actual intermittent data were studied. The data is summarized in the tablel. Assessing the performance of forecasting methods for intermittent demand required the development of new measures. When assessing forecasts of smooth demand, it is conventional to use such accuracy measures as the mean squared error (MSE) or the mean absolute percentage error (MAPE). The latter is generally preferred when one wants to assess the performance of alternative forecasting methods over many items, because its relative, scale-free measure can be averaged naturally across series with different mean levels.
