摘要:
A manufacturing process is migrated from an existing operation to a configure-to-order (CTO) system. As the CTO operation will eliminate the “machine-type model” (MTM) inventory of the existing operation, the emphasis is shifted to the components, or “building blocks”, which will still follow the build-to-stock scheme, due to their long leadtimes, and hence still require inventory. The solution involves an inventory-service trade-off of the new CTO system, resulting in performance gains, in terms of reduced inventory cost and increased service level. Other benefits include better forecast accuracy through parts commonality and risk-pooling, and increased customer demand, as orders will no longer be confined within a restricted set of pre-configured MTMs.

A solution for managing a business engagement between a provider and a client is provided. The business engagement includes one or more business solutions for which a client risk preference level is obtained. One of a plurality of engagement types is also obtained for the business solution(s) based on a business goal for the business solution(s). A pricing model for each business solution is then selected based on the engagement type and the client risk preference level. Further, the pricing model can be selected based on additional factors, such as a provider risk preference level, a business value for the business solution, and/or the like. The pricing model can comprise a risk/gain sharing pricing model having a fixed price and/or variable price pricing structure. Performance data for the business solution can be obtained and used as feedback for future business engagements and/or to implement the risk/gain sharing pricing model.

A method, system, and program product for managing one or more business solutions is provided. One or more candidate business solutions, each of which has a corresponding set of resource requirements and a corresponding business value that is based on a risk and an expected return are used to generate a set of proposed business solutions that maximizes a total value while remaining within a set of resource constraints. In this manner, business decisions regarding particular business solutions to implement can be made with an understanding as to relative risk and/or a total value that will be provided to a business entity.

A value model that can be used to value an enterprise function is provided. The value model includes one or more levels of enterprise function nodes that are related to each other and/or a bottom level of driver metric nodes, such as driver metric nodes in a value driver graph. The modification to one or more enterprise function nodes can be received and a value impact of the modification can be determined based on the modification and the relationships in the value model. In this manner, the value model provides an effective manner for determining a value impact on a particular value measurement that a specific enterprise function, such as an information technology solution/service, provides/is expected to provide.
摘要:
A method (and structure) for developing a distribution function for the probability of winning a bid by a seller for a product or service, using the seller's own historical data for winning bids and lost bids, includes normalizing the data for winning bids and the data for lost bids and merging the normalized data into a single set of data.
摘要:
A computer-implemented method and system for linking a semiconductor product manufacturing facility order with one or more quotations are provided. A quotation including at least a first product and its quote amount is received and stored. A product manufacturing facility order that identifies at least the first product and desired quantity is also received. Then an order price associated with the first product calculated by accessing the stored quote amount associated with the first product, and determining the order price based on the quote amount associated with the first product and the desired quantity identified in the product manufacturing facility order.
摘要:
A computer-implemented solution for managing a semantic business model is provided. In particular, one or more business area models for a business entity are obtained and transformed into intermediate model(s). Each intermediate model is represented using a substantially similar meta-modeling language. Subsequently, the semantic business model is generated by merging the set of intermediate models. In this manner, the semantic business model can be generated in a manner that reduces the overall burden on a user. The semantic business model can be provided for display to the user and/or use in performing qualitative analysis on various aspects of the business entity.
摘要:
An improved solution for managing a set of business solutions is provided. Each business solution includes one or more modifications to one or more business concerns for a target enterprise. A value model that comprises a value for each of the business concerns is used to determine a business value that is anticipated to be provided by each business solution. The business solutions can then be prioritized based on their business value. As a result, the invention enables business solutions to be compared based on their anticipated business value, rather than their features/functionality.
摘要:
A system and method for capacity management and trading. The system includes at least a first capacity reserved for a first device design in a first capacity management cycle, a second capacity reserved for a second device design having a pull-in demand in a second capacity management cycle after the first capacity management cycle and a processing unit. The processing unit exchanges the first capacity and the second capacity, such that the first capacity meets the second device design and the second capacity meets the first device design.
摘要:
A customer quotation system and method thereof are disclosed. In some embodiments, the system creates quoting data tables for products in accordance with original data tables for production. The system then integrates the quoting data tables to create customer requirement tables compatible with customer quotation systems. The system automatically provides product prices, which are derived from the sum of quotes for process technologies when customers create purchase orders.
