Abstract
Features related to systems and methods for predictive estimation for network inventory planning for items for distribution through a multi-echelon network are disclosed. The problem may be modeled to account for demand for an item that may be satisfied by fulfillment centers within the network. The model considers benefits to ensuring adequate inventory to meet expected demand streams along with any savings accruing from a lower transfer and salvage costs.
