Abstract:
A production planning system and a system for energy supply planning are configured to determine a production schedule and an energy supply schedule, respectively, by interactively and mutually exchanging scheduling information with the respective other system and by taking the received scheduling information into account during the planning of the respective schedule. The interacting is performed in a kind of handshaking during planning of the respective schedules, where each of the two systems waits with the next iteration step until the other system delivers its updated schedule.
Abstract:
A computer-implemented method provides a job performance plan for a plurality of jobs to be performed at geographical locations. The computer receives job data that represent job requirements for specified locations and processes the job data with the data-structure to provide an initial job performance plan. The computer receives updated job data and identifies a sub-set of the data structure. The computer processes the updated job data with the sub-set to provide an updated job performance plan, wherein some of the routes are re-assigned to specified job performers. The sub-set is selected under consideration of location clusters. Step repetitions with different clusters are provided to increase accuracy.
Abstract:
A computer system for executing a method for improving route assignment performance. A route data structure is provided with a labeling algorithm. The route data structure has one or more route vectors representing a set of route options for a plurality of available resources to fulfill a plurality of job orders at respective physical locations. A linear program is solved to obtain a route assignment solution for the set of route options in the route data structure. If the solution is non-fractional, then the solution is provided as the route assignment solution for the set of route options. If the solution is fractional, then route options having solution variables with a non-fractional route-is-assigned value are identified as assigned routes and a subset of the fractional solution variables are rounded to the route-is-assigned value.
