Abstract: A processor identifies that at least one value of a primary shortage metric triggers an exception to a rule. The processor retrieves a list of items that have a non-zero value for the primary shortage metric and retrieves at least one secondary shortage metric value for each item in the list of items. The processor then generates report data for a report that includes at least one item in the list of items and the values of the first and second shortage metrics for the item.

Abstract: A collection of incidents is received where each incident has an associated location where the incident occurred and a date and a time when the incident occurred. A mean distance between locations associated with successive incidents in the collection of incidents is determined and a risk area is identified around each location based on the mean distance. A count for a set of at-risk locations is generated with each count being the number of risk areas where an at-risk location is positioned. For each at-risk location in the set of at-risk locations, a distance between the at-risk location and a last incident location is determined. Resources are allocated to select at-risk locations based on risk factors that are a function of the count and the distances between the at-risk locations and the last location.

Abstract: Security personnel time is assigned to a store property by generating an incident score based on a probability of an incident occurring on a store property. A set of ranges of incident scores, each range being associated with a number of hours of security personnel time, are retrieved from computer memory. A range of incident scores in the set of ranges of incident scores that the generated incident score falls within is identified and an associated number of hours of security personnel time is retrieved. Security personnel time is assigned to the store property using a processor based on the number of hours of security personnel time retrieved for the identified range of incident scores.
