Abstract

A raw material system includes a product manufacturing demand estimation system programmed to calculate an expected demand for a product at a future point in time. An environment detection system identifies at least one of an environmental condition or an environmental event. A raw material production system estimates a raw material availability at the future point in time based on the expected demand and the environmental condition/event. A raw material requirement system calculates a required raw material amount to manufacture the product at the future point in time based on the expected demand and the environmental condition/event. A raw material procurement system autonomously configures a futures contract for procurement of at least a portion of the required raw material amount in response to the required raw material amount calculation exceeding the raw material availability estimation.
