A system and method for determining whether a supply chain network resource may be replenished by manufacture in order to meet demand as defined by an order. The system and method is an attribute-based system and method that may be part of an overall system and method for planning the use of supply chain network resources. The planning system and method may use configurations and bills of material, both of which may be defined by stock keeping units, subordinate stock keeping units and stock keeping unit attribute definition groups, in order to determine whether a resource may be replenished by manufacture. In determining a solution, the system and method may take into account, user and customer preferences including scheduling goals.

System, method, and computer program for replenishment by manufacture with attribute based planning

A system and method for planning the use of supply chain network resources by processing one or more groups of orders. The system and method is an attribute based rather than an order or stock keeping unit based system and method allowing for greater flexibility and improved simplicity in obtaining planning solutions. The system and method defining stock keeping unit attribute definition groups, which allows orders to be prioritized and organized into slices of orders such that an optimal planning solution is generated.

System and method for order group planning with attribute based planning

A system and method for determining whether a supply chain network resource may be replenished by purchase in order to meet demand as defined by an order. The system and method is an attribute-based system and method that may be part of an overall system and method for planning the use of supply chain network resources. The system and method may generate a planning output that may indicate the feasibility of replenishment by purchase. The system and method recognizes time events and takes into account the exact sequence of the events in order to obtain an optimal solution.

System and method for replenishment by purchase with attribute based planning

A system and method for scheduling manufacturing resources based on user defined scheduling and routing goals. Attributes and constraints may be assigned to manufacturing resources and SKUs that facilitates the planning and scheduling of the resources. Resource transitions may be restricted only to desirable transition by using product wheels. Excess work-in-process may be minimized by scheduling orders that consume the excess work-in-process.

System and methods for scheduling manufacturing resources

A method for solving finite capacity problems such as how to satisfy a customer's request for a manufactured product, by describing the environment in which the problem exists in the form of a demand (e.g., customer order), including the available resources for satisfying the demand, defining the demand, selecting a plan for achieving the various objectives of the demand in an optimal order, and evaluating whether the plan will work. Also disclosed is a computer program product implementing the invention, and a system for coordinating multiple sources of input into a system implementing the disclosed invention.
