Data mining techniques for enhancing regional product allocation management

A program storage device readable by machine, tangibly embodying a program of instructions executable by the machine to perform method steps for providing an interactive regional product allocation management database, the method comprising the steps of:

• i) providing a demand database comprising a compendium of individual demand history;
• ii) providing a supply database comprising a compendium of at least one of regional product allocation management solutions, regional product allocation information, and regional product allocation diagnostics;
• and
• iii) employing a data mining technique for interrogating said demand and supply databases for generating an output data stream, said output data stream correlating demand problem with supply solution.

A computer comprising:

• i) means for inputting a demand database comprising a compendium of individual demand history;
• ii) means for inputting a supply database comprising a compendium of at least one of regional product allocation management solutions, regional product allocation information, and regional product allocation diagnostics;
• iii) means for employing a data mining technique for interrogating said demand and supply databases;
• and
• iv) means for generating an output data stream, said output data stream correlating demand problem with supply solution.
