2 Emergence of Analytics The computational process of discovering patterns in large data sets using quantitative methods. Finds hidden patterns, relationships in large databases and infer rules to predict future behavior with a probability Major Categories of Analytics Objectives are Pattern Associations, Clustering, Classification, Regression, Sequence mining, Summarization and Anomaly detection. 2

3 Inventory Management Problem Discovering interesting relations between variables in large databases without attempting to explain them Used to predict patterns of variables based on past patterns on which the tool has been trained upon Looks for popular sets of occurrences of variables (transactions) Does not consider the order of items either within a transaction or across transactions. Extremely popular in market basket analysis E.G: If a person buys soap and pen, often he buys shampoo. Rule form: Antecedent -> Consequent [support, confidence]. Association Rule: Soap, Pen -> Shampoo [0.5%, 60%] 3

4 SCM : Grouping of SKUs for Inventory Management A stock keeping unit (SKU) is a distinct type of item for sale, such as a product or service with unique attributes like manufacturer, description, material, size, color, packaging, & warranty. location of manufacturing sites Cost of rejection Design of logistics systems Appropriate inventory levels The stocking policies Safety factors for each SKU Specification of customer service denotes SCN with interactions between suppliers of materials, manufacturers, distributors, transportation links and customers Specification of performance Srinivasan, M., & Moon, Y.

6 The emergence of intelligent techniques Multi-criteria inventory management Highest Fitness A company may need over 10,000 commodities in its inventory, each with its own consumption pattern, sourcing and stocking challenges. Problem is to classify them into sets which will have similar management issues (like re-ordering at the same time and if possible, from the same location/source). 6
