Described in detail herein is a forecasting system. In one embodiment, the system can generate forecast data for the amount of labor and physical objects needed at various facilities.

Forecasting system

Systems, methods, and machine readable media are provided for slot capacity adjustment. A utilization rate of a facility for a plurality of time slots is determined. Slots having a utilization rate that can have an associated capacity increased are identified and the capacity for the slots having a utilization rate that can be increased is increased. Slots having a utilization rate that can have an associated capacity decreased are identified and these slots have their capacity decreased. A slot-to-slot capacity variance of greater than a smoothing threshold are identified and smoothed. A capacity schedule is produced based on the capacity increases, capacity decreases, and capacity smoothing.

Automated slot adjustment tool

Described in detail herein is a forecasting system. In one embodiment, the system can generate forecast data for amount of labor and physical objects needed at various facilities.

Systems, methods, and machine readable media are provided for modifying capacity for new facilities. A user selects a retail facility for having a capacity modification and selects a new capacity for the retail facility. The user submits the request for the new capacity for the retail facility. The user confirms the request for a new capacity for the retail facility and forwards the request for a new capacity for the retail facility to a capacity scheduling tool to produce a revised capacity schedule for the retail facility.
