Embodiments for scheduling the delivery of multiple medications to a patient by a processor. Any interactions between the multiple medications or between one of the multiple medications and a type of food are considered to construct an analytical model to identify an optimized schedule for delivery of the multiple medications to the patient. The optimized schedule is adjusted in real time as additional information concerning the multiple medications and the type of food are introduced, and delivered to a dispensing device associated with the one of the multiple medications.

Optimization of medicines delivery

Embodiments of the invention relate to supply chain recommendations and application in real-time. A correlation between order proposals and firm orders is provided, and a correlation between the proposals and orders is measured in the form of compliance. A command associated with a measurement of the compliance is generated and applied to one or more hardware addressable components or associated machines. The application of the commands changes a physical aspect of the product, thereby effectively transforming a state of the product.

Assigning a new set of tags to a document is provided. A document with a set of existing tags created by an author of the document is received via a network. A set of new tags created by a group of tag editors corresponding to the document is received via the network. The set of existing tags created by the author of the document is processed with the set of new tags created by the group of tag editors. A new set of tags is assigned to the document based on processing the set of existing tags created by the author of the document with the set of new tags created by the group of tag editors.

A novel and non-obvious method, system and apparatus for tuning order configurator performance by dynamic integration of manufacturing and field feedback information. A method for dynamically tuning order configurator behavior by using product issue data can include collecting product issue data for a manufactured product, the product issue data including performance and attribute information of a part of the manufactured product, analyzing the collected product issue data to identify a problematic part, and, modifying the order configurator using the analyzed product issue data.

Tuning order configurator performance by dynamic integration of manufacturing and field feedback

The present invention addresses the deficiencies of the art in respect to the manufacturing test processes and provides a novel and non-obvious method, system and apparatus for dynamic optimization of manufacturing test coverage with automated integration of field failure feedback with the order configurator. In one embodiment of the invention, a manufacturing field failure feedback method can be provided. The method can include retrieving field failure data, analyzing the field failure data, storing failure analysis object information, modifying a manufacturing test case selection within the test case selection and order configurator based on using field failure data analysis, the test case selection including rules for test case selection and test case object information, and configuring a testing order with an optimized test case selection.

Automated integration of feedback from field failure to order configurator for dynamic optimization of manufacturing test processes

Systems, methods and media for processing project related communications between users of computers and to provide listening functionality for the users. In one embodiment, a system allows a third party project member to optionally listen in on an electronic conversation between two or more project members. The system further allows the third party project member to conduct a keyword search of messages relating to the project.

Project-related communications

A method for processing an incoming order for equipment can be provided. A plurality of objects representing environmental factors is read, each object comprising at least one of a required parts list and an excluded parts list. Next, a customer places an order for computer equipment, wherein the order comprises a list of parts. A list of environmental factors is entered by the customer and the list of environmental factors is matched to at least one of the objects. The method can further include comparing the list of parts of the order to the required parts list and/or the excluded parts list of the at least one object. Finally, a record that the order is validated is stored if the list of parts of the order is consistent with the required parts list and/or the excluded parts list of the at least one object.

Accounting for spatial and environmental factors in equipment order configurations

A method, apparatus, and product are disclosed for optimizing manufacturing testing of a customized configuration of a product. A plurality of part objects are defined within an order configuration application. Each one of the part objects is associated with one of a plurality of parts. A plurality of test objects is defined within the order configuration application. Each one of the test objects is associated with one of a plurality of tests. The order configuration application is used to generate order information using the part objects that are associated with parts that are selected to be included in a customized product. The order configuration application is also used to generate test cases using the test objects that are associated with the part objects that are associated with parts that are selected to be included in a customized product.
