Special Salmon is one of the largest providers of fish to restaurant chains in North America. They have a fleet of more than 200 fishing boats several ports between the Atlantic and Pacific coast. There are several different pieces of data being tracked through their computer system. Systems track the current market prices for each type of fish being bought by each restaurant chain that they supply, the pounds of fish sold, from which port the fish are delivered, price per pound for the fish, and much other data is stored. The problem is that data is incomplete that is needed to decide if the branch should immediately sell its fish or if market conditions dictate that the fish should be held for a short time in case the market price rises or if the branch should sell part of its inventory to one restaurant chain and the rest at another chain.
