ABSTRACT:
An inventory agent operating on software includes instructions operable to cause a programmable processor to receive inventory data relating to stock in an inventory, apply the inventory data to a conditional probabilistic predictive statistical algorithm, calculate a predicted inventory level, and use the calculated predicted inventory level to determine whether to order additional stock for the inventory. The statistical algorithm uses a conditional probabilistic model to process the data. The inventory agent may be implemented in a supply chain management system.
