摘要： The invention disclosed here is a method for achieving simultaneous consideration of multiple independent dates associated with a single demand. The method iterates through the demands to match the demands with the supply quantities respecting demand priorities which vary over time and demand quantities which may perish over time. One embodiment of the invention allocates demand to supply through an iterative process beginning with earlier demand requirement dates and concluding with later demands which may preempt supply from earlier demands depending upon their relative priorities. An additional embodiment transforms the demands to create multiple demand records, each having an associated priority, such that a single original demand record is transformed into a plurality of related demand records, each having an associated priority. The component supply quantities are accumulated into period ending inventories. The method matches the multiple demand records (in priority sequence) to the period ending inventories.

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.
摘要翻译：分配有限的制造资源，实现符合客户需求的可行的生产计划是许多制造业面临的一个困难和常见的问题。对于大型多级制造系统，现有方法通常基于依次分配有限资源，根据优先排序的生产启动列表，或基于线性规划的模型。这种规划模型的产出是一个生产计划，其中规定了每个工厂生产的每个部件的数量，使用企业可用的资源。通常，定义许可生产开始数量的批量规则。本文公开的发明是一种将这些规则应用于在线性程序内的生产开始批量生产的方法。它采用先进的启发式方法，考虑既定的经营目标（例如客户服务，交货时间短，库存量低，供应和容量优先分配）和批量规则，以有效地计算出该部门的可行生产计划。

摘要： A method and system for determining a plurality of coefficients of an objective function of a mathematical programming model. Attributes of the model are identified. A first set of coefficient values determining a first solution and initially representing the plurality of coefficients is determined by employing a specified ranking of the attributes. A prevailing solution is initialized to the first solution. Additional sets of coefficient values are generated, each set determining a corresponding additional solution of the model. The additional solutions are evaluated (e.g., by the Analytic Hierarchy Process) to provide a ranking of the solutions, where the ranking is dependent upon the attributes. The ranking of the additional solutions is used to select a second solution. The prevailing solution is set to the second solution if the second solution exceeds a sum of the prevailing solution and a specified tolerance.

摘要： Disclosed is a method and system for efficiently modeling the situation where a product manufactured within a multi-stage manufacturing system has components upstream in the supply chain which may substitute for one another. The invention selectively permits substitutions based on rules associated with downstream operations or customer shipments. One component may substitute for another provided that the assembly consuming the component belongs to a certain set of assemblies. The invention also encompasses a method by which this can be integrated into a production planning system based on a linear programming (LP) model.
