Abstract

Abstract A method of classifying demand for an allocation term. The inventive method first inputs demand data, order data, and supply data. The method then classifies the demand data into prioritized demand data according to the order data and the supply data. The method finally combines and outputs the first, second, and third priority demand data, and updates the supply data according to the first, second, and third demand data.
