Development of demand forecasting and inventory management models in the alcohol market

该项目旨在从负责**个人消费销售的当地参与者的角度，更好地了解酒类市场。这项研究将与总部位于蒙特利尔的WISK Solutions公司合作进行，该公司为餐馆、酒吧和酒店生产饮料分析软件，并提出改进酒吧管理、监测销售、库存和库存补充的工具。我们的目标是**建立需求模型，并从销售记录中提取模式，同时考虑季节性和地理影响。**需求分析将用于开发库存管理模型，该模型可用于向客户提供有关订单传递时间和数量的实用建议，以保持与需求兼容的库存水平，并最终提高实现收入，同时提高消费者满意度并减少浪费和损失。

The project aims to better understand the alcohol market, from the point of view of local actors in charge of**individual consumption sales. The research will be performed in collaboration with WISK Solutions, a**Montreal-based company making beverage analytics software for restaurants, bars and hotels and proposing**tools to improve bar management, monitoring the sales, the inventorying and the stock replenishment. We aim**to model demand and extract patterns from sale records, taking account of seasonality and geographical effects.**The demand analysis will be used to develop an inventory management model that could be used to give**practical advice to the clients about the time and the volume of the order to pass in order to maintain a stock**level compatible with the demand, and ultimately improving the achieved revenue while enhancing consumer**satisfaction and reducing waste and losses.
