    a graphical user interface for displaying the demand forecast data in two dimensions;

    identification means for identifying a specific selection of one or more products selected by the user using the graphical user interface; and

    extraction means for obtaining the demand forecast data from the representation means using the identified one or more products; and

    interaction means for enabling the user to interact with the graphical user interface in which the user views demand forecast data of one or more products on the graphical user interface by selecting the products using the interaction means, the demand forecast data being identified and processed from the demand forecast data of product categories stored in the representation means.
