摘要： A method and storage medium for utilizing excess inventory of parts that are used in end products and having part identifiers are provided. The method includes identifying an excess inventory of parts including part identifiers and a quantity associated with each part identifier. The method also includes identifying potential end products for manufacture comprising a Bill of Materials (BOM) for each end product and where each BOM calls out at least one part identifier in the excess inventory of parts. The method further includes determining a build plan including one or more of the potential end products, the build plan optimized to specific criteria and utilizing an amount of the excess inventory whereby the specific criteria include maximizing the quantity of the excess inventory utilized without exceeding a specific dollar value of additional parts purchased to produce the build plan.

摘要： A method of iterative negotiation for improved production planning between one or more purchasers and suppliers in a supply chain. The method includes a purchaser in a supply chain generating a request schedule that is communicated to a supplier. In response to the request schedule the supplier generates a commit schedule and communicates it back to the purchaser. Through the iterative negotiation process (ask-answer) one or more interpolation constraints are generated based on the supplier's commit schedules. Upon completion of the ask-answer process purchaser solves a final advanced planning system (APS) based on said one or more interpolation constraints and generates a final production plan. The invention can be employed to integrate the collaboration among purchasers and suppliers with an advanced planning system for optimizing established planning objectives (e.g. customer service, short lead times, low inventory, and prioritized allocation of supply and capacity).
摘要翻译：一种迭代谈判的方法，用于改善供应链中一个或多个购买者和供应商之间的生产计划。该方法包括在供应链中的购买者，生成与供应商通信的请求时间表。响应于请求时间表，供应商生成提交计划并将其传送给购买者。通过迭代协商过程（询问答案），基于供应商的提交时间表生成一个或多个内插约束。在询问过程完成后，购买者根据所述一个或多个内插约束来解决最终的高级计划系统（APS），并且生成最终生产计划。本发明可用于将购买者和供应商之间的协作整合到用于优化既定规划目标（例如客户服务，短交货期，低库存以及供应和容量的优先分配）的高级规划系统。

摘要： Methods, systems and apparatus for providing a variety of end product build plans based on multiple business scenarios for exhausting excess inventory. Raw financial data and variable scaling factors are input into a scenario engine component along with a business objective that contains logic. The scaling factor may be embedded within the logic of the business objective, or it may be selected by a user to indicate the user's preferences. The scenario engine then applies the financial data and variable scaling factor inputs to the business objective logic to generate modified financial data. The logic of the business objective may also be manipulated to provide modified logic. The modified financial data, and optionally the modified logic, are then input into an optimizer component for determining multiple portfolios for end products that, if built, would consume excess inventory.

摘要： A method is disclosed in one embodiment of the invention as including receiving standard MRP input data, including supply rules. Demand priority data may also be received to provide a business ranking of the independent demands. The MRP input data and demand priority data may be transformed into a format usable by an implosion engine and a pegging solver. Such transformation may include providing artificial MRP input data for each of the components. The transformed MRP input data may be processed with the implosion engine and the pegging solver to provide pegged implosion data. A pegged supply shortfall for a component may then be calculated based on the pegged implosion data. Specifically, consumption of an artificial component may represent a supply shortfall for the component. The demand priority data for the independent demand that pegs to the supply shortfall may provide the prioritized shortfall for that component.
摘要翻译：在本发明的一个实施例中公开了一种方法，包括接收包括供应规则的标准MRP输入数据。还可以接收需求优先级数据以提供独立需求的业务排名。 MRP输入数据和需求优先级数据可以被转换为可由内爆引擎和钉住求解器使用的格式。这种变换可以包括为每个组件提供人造MRP输入数据。转换的MRP输入数据可以用内爆引擎和固定解算器来处理以提供栓塞的内爆数据。然后可以基于钉住内爆数据计算部件的固定供应缺口。具体来说，人造部件的消耗可能代表部件的供应不足。针对供应短缺的独立需求的需求优先数据可能会为该组件提供优先缺口。
