An exemplary embodiment of the present invention is a method for
performing ratio planning. The method includes building a ratio planning
database, creating a pre-defined ratio planning report template that
includes a coefficient of variation field, and creating a populated
database that is a subset of the ratio planning database for the report
template. Based on the request of a system user, the pre-defined ratio
planning report is generated from the data in the template and the
populated database. Additionally, a user-defined ratio planning report
based on data in the ratio planning database can be generated in response
to a request by a system user. Additional embodiments include a system
and storage medium for performing ratio planning.
