Publication number: 20190266554Abstract: A method, computer program product, and a system where a process(s) generates a data model for a given environment; the model includes a listing of consumable items utilized in the environment and structured and unstructured data sources relevant to the consumable items utilized in the environment. The processor(s) machine learns factors related to supply and demand for the consumable items, based on ingesting structured and unstructured data from the data sources indicated in the data model and extracting occurrences of data representing consumable items coupled with occurrences of the factors. The processor(s) generates correlations quantifiable correlations between factors and consumable items and updates the model with the correlations. The processor(s) obtains, for a future time, a request for replenishment of the consumable items for the environment. The processor(s) uses the model to generate a replenishment plan for the environment for the given time period, based on ranking the consumable items.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 28, 2018Publication date: August 29, 2019Inventors: Zhong-Hui Lin, Dean Phillips, Kent R.
