Claim 14:
15. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium embodied with software, the software when executed configured to:
access supply chain data comprising a plurality of data points from one or more data storage locations in a supply chain network, the supply chain network comprising two or more supply chain entities and a computer coupled with a database and comprising a processor and memory, wherein the supply chain data is received from one or more stationary scanners located at the two or more supply chain entities;
select categories and measures by which to cluster the supply chain data;
cluster the data points into intersection clusters as measured by the selected categories and measures by:
generate a K-value;
measure the impact of the K-value using an elbow method;
repeating the generate and measure steps for incremental K-values until the elbow method shows an optimal K-value;
generate local outlier factors for the plurality of data points using the optimal K-values;
rank the local outlier factors in descending order of magnitude; and

correct a supply chain plan based on at least one detected anomaly associated with the ranked local outlier factors; and
instruct an automated warehousing system to automatically remove one or more products from and place one or more products into inventory based on the corrected supply chain plan.
