摘要： A system and method for utilizing computer-implementable decision support systems to determine factory schedules. Methodologies associated with the invention include advanced planning systems, optimization and heuristic based algorithms, constraint-based programming, and simulation. The method may iteratively assign lots to non-full batches based on comparison of the resulting impact to mean flow time with the continuously approximated cost per batch. Once lots have been assigned to batches, potential interchanges of lots among batches are explored. If the variable cost per batch changes from one interchange to the next, the method may backtrack and attempt to re-allocate lots to batches based on the increased cost per batch.

摘要： Disclosed is a method of controlling a manufacturing system. The invention automatically monitors current levels of partially completed products waiting to be processed by a tool (or group of tools) and determines whether the current levels exceed a predetermined limit. If the current levels do exceed the predetermined limit, the invention performs an optimization process. However, if the current levels do not exceed the predetermined limit, the invention performs a dispatching process. In this dispatching process, the invention automatically projects future levels of partially completed products that will be supplied to the tool to identify a future work-in-process (WIP) bubble. The WIP bubble occurs when larger than normal amounts of partially completed products are supplied to the tool. The invention automatically adjusts the operating parameters of the tool based upon both the current levels and the future levels.

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.
摘要翻译：这里公开的发明是用于实现与单个需求相关联的多个独立日期的同时考虑的方法。该方法迭代了需求，以满足需求优先级的供应量和随时间变化的需求量以及可能随时间而灭亡的需求量。本发明的一个实施例通过从先前的需求要求日期开始的迭代过程来分配需求，并且以随后的需求结束，这些需求可以根据其相对优先级抢先提供更多需求。另外的实施例转换需求以创建多个需求记录，每个需求记录具有相关联的优先级，使得单个原始需求记录被转换成多个相关需求记录，每个相关需求记录具有相关联的优先级。部件供应量累计到期末存货。该方法将多个需求记录（优先顺序）与结束库存期间相匹配。

摘要： Techniques are presented for rescheduling manufacturing releases. A plurality of release information elements are identified based on a first run of a first advanced planning system. The release information elements comprise dates of planned manufacturing release and quantity. The plurality of release information elements are sorted based on associated demand-likelihood factors and a plurality of sorting criteria. Swapping candidates are selected and swaps are performed based on the demand-likelihood factors and at least one swapping constraint. The plurality of release information elements are then fixed and output as results. A second run of an advanced planning system is optionally performed before output and may include stability features.
