A computer method for enhancing shelf-space management. The method includes the
steps of providing a shelf-space-requirements database comprising a compendium
of individual shelf-space-requirements history; providing a shelf-space-availability
database comprising a compendium of at least one of shelf-space management solutions,
shelf-space information, and shelf-space diagnostics; and, employing a data mining
technique for interrogating the shelf-space-requirements and shelf-space-availability
databases for generating an output data stream, the output data stream correlating
shelf-space-requirements problem with shelf-space-availability solution.
