Phase 1 & 2 Complete: RAPIDS Demand Forecasting Agent

** Successfully Implemented**

Phase 1: Environment Setup

  • RAPIDS Container Ready: Docker setup with NVIDIA Container Toolkit
  • CPU Fallback Mode: Working implementation with scikit-learn
  • Database Integration: PostgreSQL connection with 7,644 historical movements
  • Dependencies: All required libraries installed and tested

Phase 2: Data Pipeline

  • Data Extraction: 179 days of historical demand data per SKU
  • Feature Engineering: 31 features based on NVIDIA best practices
  • Model Training: Ensemble of 3 models (Random Forest, Linear Regression, Time Series)
  • Forecasting: 30-day predictions with 95% confidence intervals

** Results Achieved**

Forecast Performance

  • 4 SKUs Successfully Forecasted: LAY001, LAY002, DOR001, CHE001
  • Average Daily Demand Range: 32.8 - 48.9 units
  • Trend Analysis: Mixed trends (increasing/decreasing) detected
  • Confidence Intervals: 95% confidence bands included

Feature Importance Analysis

Top 5 Most Important Features:

  1. demand_trend_7 (0.159) - 7-day trend indicator
  2. weekend_summer (0.136) - Weekend-summer interaction
  3. demand_seasonal (0.134) - Day-of-week seasonality
  4. demand_rolling_mean_7 (0.081) - 7-day rolling average
  5. demand_rolling_std_7 (0.079) - 7-day rolling standard deviation

Sample Forecast Results

LAY001: 36.9 average daily demand
Next 7 days: [41.0, 40.7, 40.5, 40.2, 39.9, 39.6, 39.3]

DOR001: 45.6 average daily demand  
Range: 42.2 - 48.9 units
Trend: ↗️ Increasing

** Technical Implementation**

Data Pipeline

# Historical data extraction
query = """
SELECT DATE(timestamp) as date,
       SUM(quantity) as daily_demand,
       EXTRACT(DOW FROM DATE(timestamp)) as day_of_week,
       EXTRACT(MONTH FROM DATE(timestamp)) as month,
       -- Additional temporal features
FROM inventory_movements 
WHERE sku = $1 AND movement_type = 'outbound'
GROUP BY DATE(timestamp)
"""

Feature Engineering

  • Lag Features: 1, 3, 7, 14, 30-day demand lags
  • Rolling Statistics: Mean, std, max for 7, 14, 30-day windows
  • Seasonal Features: Day-of-week, month, quarter patterns
  • Promotional Events: Super Bowl, July 4th impact modeling
  • Brand Features: Encoded categorical variables (LAY, DOR, CHE, etc.)

Model Architecture

ensemble_weights = {
    'random_forest': 0.4,      # 40% weight
    'linear_regression': 0.3,  # 30% weight  
    'time_series': 0.3         # 30% weight
}

** API Endpoints**

Forecast Summary

GET /api/v1/inventory/forecast/summary

Returns summary of all available forecasts with trends and statistics.

Specific SKU Forecast

GET /api/v1/inventory/forecast/demand?sku=LAY001&horizon_days=7

Returns detailed forecast with predictions and confidence intervals.

** Business Impact**

Demand Insights

  • Lay's Products: Stable demand around 36-41 units/day
  • Doritos: Highest demand (45.6 avg) with increasing trend
  • Cheetos: Most stable demand (36.0-36.4 range)
  • Seasonal Patterns: Weekend and summer interactions detected

Operational Benefits

  • Inventory Planning: 30-day demand visibility
  • Reorder Decisions: Data-driven ordering recommendations
  • Promotional Planning: Event impact modeling
  • Risk Management: Confidence intervals for uncertainty

** Ready for Phase 3**

GPU Acceleration Setup

# Run RAPIDS container with GPU support
docker run --gpus all -v $(pwd):/app \
  nvcr.io/nvidia/rapidsai/rapidsai:24.02-cuda12.0-runtime-ubuntu22.04-py3.10

Next Steps

  1. Phase 3: Implement cuML models for GPU acceleration
  2. Phase 4: Real-time API integration
  3. Phase 5: Advanced monitoring and business intelligence

📁 Files Created

  • scripts/phase1_phase2_forecasting_agent.py - Main forecasting agent
