The embodiments relate to dynamic server drawer build plan management. Output data associated with a data source is received. A drawer build plan list and one or more inventory scenarios are generated based on the received data. At least one build plan is chosen from the build plan list, and one or more drawer design configurations are compared to at least one inventory scenario to produce a set of eligible drawer design configurations. A drawer design configuration is selected from the set for one or more respective drawer build plans based on one or more constraints. A connection is established to a computer, and information associated with each selected drawer design configuration is transmitted to the second computer.

Dynamic planning and configuration based on inconsistent supply

Embodiments of the invention relate to statistical and mathematical optimization techniques to predict completion time of parts and subassemblies in one production line. A real-time visibility of products and work-in-process is produced. Optimization techniques are utilized to allow for dynamic modification of a transportation schedule and/or batch size, thereby reducing transportation costs.
