Abstract
Systems and methods for inventory planning. In some embodiments, automated real-time inventory replenishment planning is provided based on business inputs, such as vendor order-processing schedules. To this end, continuous inventory review of target inventory positions is performed to automatically derive inventory replenishment frequencies and corresponding buying schedules. Such systems and methods may increase efficiency by decoupling the generation of inventory replenishment plans and the execution of the generated inventory replenishment plans.
