Abstract: A method and system for dynamic inventory control of a warehouse is provided that includes, receiving consumption data for a product, standardizing the consumption data to provide a data record, at least one of populating or appending a data table with at least a portion of the data in the standardized data record, wherein the data table includes a plurality of time dependent data values, calculating a flow dynamics vector for the first time t using the data values in the data table, receiving the flow dynamics vector and generating a figurative state-space diagram that is divided into a plurality of zones by a plurality of threshold values related to the product, and evaluating the flow dynamics vector in the context of the thresholds to identify the zone indicated by the flow dynamics vector.
