Abstract
A set of SKUs is divided into a plurality of different Mean Field clusters, and a tracker (or sensor) is identified for each cluster. Product decisions for each Mean Field cluster are generated based on the tracker (or sensor) and each Mean Field cluster is then deconstructed to obtain product decisions for individual SKUs in the Mean Field cluster.
