Abstract
A system and method are disclosed for a supply chain planner to generate a distributional demand forecast for slow-moving inventory in a supply chain. The distributional demand forecast model takes into account explanatory variables and historical sales data to address seasonality and special events and permits sharing of demand information across different stores and stock-keeping units. The supply chain planner performs inference on the explanatory variables and historical sales data to generate process parameters and latent variables. Other embodiments are also disclosed.
