See full text

A system, method and program product for cluster-based forecasting of intermittent demand. A computer system is disclosed for forecasting intermittent demand, having a data management system that provides access to historical demand data for a plurality of items; and a forecast system that generates a distribution of lead time demand predictions for a selected item having intermittent demand, and wherein the forecast system includes program code for performing the steps of: identifying a cluster from historical demand data, wherein the cluster includes items having an aggregated demand that defines a cluster driver; detecting if an association exists between historical demand data of a selected item and the cluster driver; and if the association is detected, utilizing the historical demand data of the selected item and the historical demand data to generate a distribution of lead time demand predictions.
