    摘要: A system and method are described for intelligently sourcing demand forecasts within a supply chain management (“SCM”) system based on a constrained supply chain model, in light of material and resource constraints. For example, a computer implemented method according to one embodiment of the invention comprises: calculating a demand forecast identifying anticipated demand for a product over a specified time period; identifying current sales orders for the product with delivery dates scheduled during the specified time period; generating an open forecast for the product based on the current sales orders and the anticipated demand; and sourcing different percentages of the open forecast from different plants, the percentages selected based on supply chain material and/or resource constraints. In addition, after the demand forecast is sourced, one embodiment of the invention employs additional techniques for intelligently sourcing new sales orders entering the SCM system.

    摘要: A current transactional context of a user of a business software architecture can be detected, optionally in response to a guidance request received from the user. At least one matching business process feature related to the current transactional context can be determined by comparing the current transactional context with process metadata in a process repository, and the matching business process feature can be compared to scenario metadata defining a set of business process features that are part of each of a plurality of business scenarios within the business configuration to identify at least one matching business scenario containing the matching business process feature. In a user interface, the at least one matching business process feature and the identified matching business scenario that contains the at least one matching business process feature can be highlighted.

    摘要: Generating data used in planning the execution of a manufacturing process includes consistency checks that are performed on proposed groupings of manufacturing operations to make sure that the groupings are defined in a way that enables the information to be aggregated for use in planning. To do this, defined groupings are received for multiple execution-level manufacturing operations that are defined in a manufacturing process execution-level electronic data model and that define a process flow to produce a product. In one aspect, for each of the defined groupings, it is determined whether the defined grouping includes multiple occurrences of a process step definition that has multiple different defined alternative steps, and if so, the defined groupings are changed so that each defined grouping of the defined groupings has no more than a single occurrence of a process step definition that has multiple different defined alternative steps.

    摘要: A computer-implemented method (and associated computer program products and systems) generates electronic data for use in planning execution of a manufacturing process. The method includes receiving a user-defined grouping of multiple execution-level manufacturing entities (for example, operations and resources) that are defined in a manufacturing process execution-level electronic data model that is designed for use with a computer-implemented method used in executing the manufacturing process to produce product. The method also includes performing an aggregation of resource-related information associated with multiple execution-defined resources that are within the scope of the user-defined grouping, the aggregation being performed for a purpose related to planning execution of the manufacturing process to produce product.

    摘要: An interface provides decision support in complex problem environments. An interface engine selectively communicates with a database to display (e.g., in tree form) proposed decisions and various corresponding outcomes resulting from cause-effect relationships of selected decisions. Structured data objects store state information (e.g., current/projected/target) of multi-faceted, inter-connected entities. Object metadata can include entity attributes and/or entity relationship details. The interface allows traversing the tree to explore the cause-effect relationships and/or validate various solution paths. The tree (including the proposed decisions, outcomes, and solution paths) may be initially generated up front, based upon particular problem scenario characteristics. Limited subsequent interaction between the interface engine and the underlying backend data store may enhance speed/performance/user experience. Roundtrip interaction with the underlying database may take place where a user seeks to adjust a decision with specific metrics and simulate the result, and/or create an execution plan/activity based upon a solution path previously designed.

    摘要: Example methods and systems are directed to dispatching database tasks. An application may access data associated with a task. The data may indicate features (e.g., processing functionality) that will be used to complete the task. The application may determine whether all such features are implemented in the database layer. The application may dispatch the task to the database layer if all features are implemented therein. The application may perform the task in the application layer if one or more of the features are not available in the database layer. In some example embodiments, the task involves materials requirements planning. Such a task may include determining, for a given bill of materials (“BOM”), the quantity of materials available on-hand, the quantity available from suppliers, the transport or delivery time for the various quantities, and other data regarding the BOM.

    摘要: Methods, computer program products and systems are disclosed for generating a planned time duration for a manufacturing process operation defined for planning purposes that includes an aggregation of multiple defined execution operations. Electronic information is received that specifies a production demand that requires use of the manufacturing process for fulfillment. A linear approximation is electronically generated of an overall time duration measure for the defined manufacturing process planning operation. The overall time duration measure is a sum of time components comprising at least a calculated measure for a variable time component for the longest of the multiple execution operations for the received production demand, and a fixed time duration measure for one send-ahead quantity for each of the multiple execution operations that is not the longest. The generated overall time duration measure is then returned.

    摘要: Transactional data associated with a specific instance of a business scenario that includes an intersecting process feature requiring prerequisite action by a prerequisite process feature that is part of another business scenario can be linked to a scenario model providing a linearized representation in which other process features of the business scenario, the intersecting process feature, and the prerequisite process feature are arranged in a linear sequence. A navigation pane including a linear progression of user interface elements representing the linear sequence can be concurrently displayed with a work pane including other user interface elements corresponding to functionality provided by business software architecture features related to a currently selected process feature. The navigation pane display can expand at a selected user interface element to display additional user interface elements corresponding to process features involved in completion of the process feature corresponding to the selected first user interface element.
