Forecasting Supplies Inventory Using Sequential Pattern Analysis

Published: 29 December 2018 Publication History

Abstract

One of the fundamental data mining tasks was discovering unexpected and useful patterns in databases. The most popular data mining is sequential pattern mining. Analyzing sequential pattern has been applied in much real-life business such retailing, customer buying behavior, inventory management, and financial industries, This paper used sequential pattern analysis in the supplies inventory management of a university. The goal is to identify what particular items need to have more stocks and determine when they will need it and to predict the request pattern of items of every department. This paper also defined and reviewed the task of sequential pattern mining and its applications are. Moreover, Apriori Algorithm, a known effective computing solution for small datasets was used and integrated to the current supplies inventory management system of the university to produce a sequential pattern on itemsets being requested by different departments. Lastly, this research presented and analyzed the results of the implemented sequential pattern mining algorithm and gave some recommendations.
