English Abstract

A system for generating a product subgroup map for a product adjacency group
with
transition summary reporting is disclosed. In one example, a user interface is
configured for
presenting data on product subgroups and receiving user inputs for user-
editable mapping
criteria for mapping the product subgroups. The user interface has user-
selectable options for
editing and assigning priority values to the mapping criteria of the product
subgroups. The
system generates a combined set of mapping criteria for the user-selected
product subgroups
based on the user-edited mapping criteria and non-user-editable mapping
criteria. The
system generates a product subgroup map based on the combined set of mapping
criteria and
a set of physical store layout data for at least one store, and provides a
graphical output of the
product subgroup map. The system generates a report for the product subgroup
map for the
product adjacency group.
