A method and apparatus for efficient handling of product returns to reduce associated costs. A computer system at a regional product return center scans a returned product for identifying information, accesses a manufacturer return approval computer system through the internet or the like, and then submits the identifying information to the manufacturer for return approval. The manufacturer computer system utilizes the identifying information to access an electronic registration database to determine whether the returned product satisfies applicable return criteria. If so, the product is approved for return to the manufacturer. The regional product return center preferably scans a plurality of returned products in a single session. In response to the product identifying information submitted by the regional product return center, the manufacturer provides a list of approved returns and unapproved returns, along with a return authorization number for the batch of approved returns. The regional product return center then assembles the approved product returns into a box, shipping pallet, or the like, applies a label indicating the return authorization label, and ships the batch to the manufacturer. Shipping costs can be saved by omitting rejected product returns from the shipment. The manufacturer can handle the approved product returns from the regional return center as a batch, thereby reducing costs.

Method and system of cost variance analysis
A method for cost variance analysis for assessment of the effects of products / product groups, activities / activity-producing-departments, and resource acquisition, within an organization. The method utilizes the Broyles and Lay p′RUm cost variance model. By converting one or more variables of the Broyles and Lay model into a diagonal or grouped matrix, effects within departments can be apportioned, to identify problematic factors, as well as areas of opportunity. A related method of revenue and profit variance analysis. Revenues are calculated as (Selling Prices)×(Volume and mix of products). Revenue variances are the difference between actual and budgeted revenues, and can be attributed to the changes in selling prices and volume and mix of products. Profit is defined as revenue less cost Profit variances depend on both revenue and cost variances.

Method and system for building a consumer decision tree in a hierarchical decision tree structure based on in-store behavior analysis
ActiveUS8412656B1Limited understandingDetermining the relative importance of each product groupDigital computer detailsDigital dataBehavioral analyticsTransaction data
The present invention is a system and method for determining the hierarchical purchase decision process of consumers in front of a product category. The decision path of consumers is obtained by combining behavior data with the category layout and transaction data based on observed actual in-store purchase behavior using a set of video cameras and software for extracting sequence and timing of each consumer's decision process. A hierarchical decision tree structure comprises nodes and edges, wherein a node represents the state-of-mind of the consumer, the number of nodes is predefined, and an edge represents the transition of the decision. The decisions for each product group are captured down to the product attribute level and analyzed by demographic group. The outcome provides relative importance of each product attribute in the purchase decision process, and helps retailers and manufacturers to evaluate the layout of the category and customize it for key segment.
