Embodiment Construction

[0013] now refer to figure 1 , where a network-based ALI solution is shown for an application according to the invention for automatic identification of devices such as cell phones 102 using fixed base stations 106-1, 106-N (non-limiting example) The geographic location of the cell phone of the class. Cellular telephone 102 may be a wireless PDA cellular telephone, a laptop computer, or any other device incorporating suitable processing and communication circuitry. The fixed base stations 106 - 1 , 106 -N can communicate with a server 108 that can calculate the geographic location of the cellular telephone 102 .

[0014] The server 108 communicates with the base stations 106-1, 106-N in any suitable manner. For example, a conventional telephone network, high-speed data lines, wireless links, or a combination of these may be used. Base stations 106 - 1 , 106 -N may provide the data link between cellular telephone 102 and server 108 . The server is controlled by a workstatio...

Abstract

In accordance with the invention, a method for increasing demand for a perishable item utilizing production capacity planning in a perishable asset production facility, such as a restaurant situationwhich allows for flexibility and production forecastability to determine a necessary number of new customers to balance demand with production capacity is provided The determination is made as a function of raw material, labor availability, work in process, and food in holding cabinets (inventory) awaiting purchase. By monitoring this production capacity and the trend of sales, by utilizing probability theory, and expected sales in a given time interval necessary demand to optimize sales is predicted. It is then determined how large a geographical area containing potential customers, as function of predicted response rates, is to be notified in order for expected demand to meet expected production.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. 119(e) to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60 / 896,513, filed March 23, 2007. technical field [0003] This application is concerned with promoting demand for perishable goods at points of sale such as restaurants, supermarkets, bakeries, meat wholesalers, butchers, wine manufacturers, fruit wholesalers, commodity retail and wholesale markets and with predictable and predictable Non-food commodities that are assigned a "value lifecycle" relative to inventory levels and are monitored by a database system, specifically, for identifying buyers of perishable commodities as a function of the consumer's geographic location in real time. Background technique [0004] It is known in the art to predict demand for merchandise at a retailer, wholesaler or processing plant based on past experience. With the advent of computer technology, models have been built to predict the ...
