Embodiments of the invention provide a method, system and computer program product for carbon management for sourcing and logistics. In one embodiment, the method comprises using a computer for quantifying both a cost and a carbon impact of one or more logistics policies relating to a manufacturing process; and minimizing the cost and carbon impact using a defined equation including a first component representing a transportation cost, and a second component representing a carbon cost. In an embodiment of the invention, the quantifying includes using an analytics engine to quantify the cost and carbon impact. The analytics engine may include a shipment analysis module to calculate an optimal transportation policy, a sourcing analysis module for testing alternate sourcing options, a scenario analysis module to find an optimal order frequency, and a sensitivity analysis module to test the impact of various changes.

There are provided a system, a method and a computer program product for tracking an inventory distribution of a perishable product in a supply chain. The system receives shipment data and point of sale data for the product from every location in the supply chain. The system creates, based on the obtained shipment data and the point of sale data, a network graph that represents a flow of the product in the supply chain. The system identifies an age of unsold inventory of the product at each node of the graph based on the created graph. The system provides a notification to a user at each location that informs the age of the unsold inventory of the product at that location.

A method, system and computer program product are disclosed for providing an integrated solution to a set of supply chain optimization problems. In one embodiment, the method comprises defining a distribution network, vehicle routing, inventory positioning, and environmental sustainability for a supply chain; and combining an optimization of the distribution network, the vehicle routing, the inventory positioning, and the environmental sustainability into a single problem. In an embodiment, the optimization of the distribution network, the vehicle routing, the inventory positioning, and the environmental sustainability are combined into a single problem by using analytical engines. In one embodiment, these analytical engines include an inventory positioning engine to identify an inventory policy, a network analysis engine to identify a network structure, a vehicle routing engine to identify routes for delivering products, and a sustainability engine to quantify energy use and carbon emissions of defined actions.

摘要:
A method and system for scoring and ranking a plurality of component links in a social technical system having a plurality of components representing people and objects are provided. In one aspect, a degree of consistency relative to two or more people working on one or more objects and dependencies between the objects is determined to derive scores for the component links. The method and system identifies gaps in the link and determines the impact of filling the gaps. In another aspect, component links may be ranked and scores aggregated to provide system level quantifications.
