A method for planning under uncertainty is disclosed. The method includes steps of processing a stochastic programming formulation based on forecast values of at least one of product and service configurations, and determining a resource requirements plan for one or more planning periods in a non-deterministic bill of resources of at least two levels.

A tool including a framework suitable for manufacturing logistics decision support. The tool comprises means for providing an object-oriented technology framework, the framework comprising: means for defining objects representing manufacturing logistics problems; means for transforming a subject of the above objects into representations commonly used in a mathematical solver, wherein the representations in the solver have predefined relationships based on their properties; and, means responsive to selective changes in the objects for modifying the behavior of the framework for developing anew manufacturing logistics decision support application.

A method for invoking an arbitrary sorting technique in a type-safe way. In one aspect, the method comprises the steps of providing a hierarchical schedule class comprising a schedule float subclass and a sorting schedule float subclass, subsumed by the schedule float subclass. The sorting schedule float subclass, in turn, comprises a schedule attribute class; a filter class; and a pair compare class. The method further includes using the hierarchical schedule class with each of an independent group consisting of a schedule attribute strategy, a filter strategy and a pair compare class strategy.

The invention discloses an apparatus for conveying higher dimensional tabular information to people using a lower dimensional output device. The apparatus is such that original information in the higher dimensional expression can be mapped to the lower dimensional output device, while preserving invariant a content and relationship of the original information.
