摘要： Allocating limited manufacturing resources to achieve a feasible production plan that is consistent with customer demand is a difficult and common problem faced in many manufacturing industries. For large-scale multi-stage manufacturing systems, existing methods are typically based either on allocating limited resources sequentially, according to a priority ranked list of production starts, or on linear programming based models. The output of such planning models is a production plan which specifies the quantity of each part to produce at each plant, using resources available to the enterprise. Typically there are lot-sizing rules defining the permissible production start quantities. The invention disclosed herein is a method for applying these rules to the lot-sizing of production starts within a linear program. It employs advanced heuristics that consider both established operational objectives (e.g. customer service, short lead times, low inventory, and prioritized allocation of supply and capacity) and lot-size rules to efficiently compute a feasible production plan for the division.

摘要： The invention provides a method and system comprising the identification of live stocking points and the filtering of files to include only live stocking points. The inventive stocking points reflect not only the part number but also the location within the bills of materials supply chain. The invention also provides a method and system for identifying live stocking points which efficiently handles circular supply chain flows such as those occurring due to: plants shipping to each other, planned rework, and part numbers being substituted for each other. In addition, the invention identifies live stocking points where only parts and locations that may be supplied are identified as live. The invention identifies the ability to substitute parts (“suppliability”) by examining component supply, inventory, capability to build, planned receipts, and capability of supplying the parts through substitution of other part(s).
