Jan 26, 2001

Appl. No.:

09/771207

Inventors:

Gregory H. Slocum - Dallas TX, US

Assignee:

i2 Technologies US, Inc. - Dallas TX

International Classification:

G06F 17/30

US Classification:

705 10

Abstract:

A system () for demand planning includes memory () containing a value representing a demand quantity of at least one end product that a manufacturer () is to produce. Production of the demand quantity of the end product includes production of a quantity of at least one intermediate product that is to be further processed to produce the end product. The system () also includes one or more processors () collectively operable to determine a value representing an additional quantity of the intermediate product that the manufacturer () can produce in addition to the quantity of the intermediate product used to produce the end product. The one or more processors () are also collectively operable to make the additional quantity value for the intermediate product available for use in generating additional demand for the intermediate product.

International Classification:

G06F 17/30

US Classification:

705 10

Abstract:

A method for demand planning includes determining a demand value representing a demand quantity of an end product that a manufacturer is to produce. Production of the demand quantity of the end product includes production of a quantity of an intermediate product using a raw material. The intermediate product is to be further processed to produce the end product. The method also includes determining an additional quantity value representing an additional quantity of the intermediate product that the manufacturer can produce in addition to the quantity of the intermediate product used to produce the end product. At least one of the demand value and the additional quantity value is based at least partially on an exchange balance associated with at least one of the raw material, the intermediate product, and the end product. The method further includes making the additional quantity value for the intermediate product available for use in generating additional demand for the intermediate product.

Filed:

Jun 20, 2006

Appl. No.:

11/471332

Inventors:

Gregory Howard Slocum - Akron OH, US
Susan Lynn Deevers - Clinton OH, US
Roland James Simon - Richfield OH, US

Assignee:

The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company - Akron OH

International Classification:

G06Q 10/00

US Classification:

705 28, 705 22

Abstract:

A collaborative inventory management method for managing material inventory sourced by a customer from a plurality of suppliers includes: designating at least one supplier as a steady supplier to the customer; designating at least one second supplier as a lead supplier to the customer; allocating a supply split between the steady supplier and the lead supplier for supplying material to customer over a period of time; providing customer inventory level data (I) and usage forecast data (U) from the customer to the lead supplier; providing a customer shipment schedule to the steady supplier; providing an order create (OC) and ship notice (SN) from the steady supplier to the customer; transforming the (OC) and (SN) to contain selective quantity and date of shipment data (Q/D); sending Q/D data to the lead supplier; and planning by the lead supplier of shipments to manage (I) responsive to actual usage by the customer and shipment of material from the steady supplier to customer and in accordance with the supply split.

Assignee:

JDA Software Group, Inc. - Scottsdale AZ

International Classification:

G06Q 10/00

US Classification:

705 712

Abstract:

A method for continuous production planning includes identifying a forbidden transition associated with production of first and second end products. The forbidden transition indicates that a manufacturer should not produce the first and second end products consecutively. The method also includes identifying a bridge product associated with the forbidden transition. The bridge product represents a product that the manufacturer could produce between production of the first and second end products. The method further includes determining a quantity of the bridge product that could be produced by the manufacturer. In addition, the method includes scheduling production of the first and second end products and the bridge product. At least a portion of the quantity of the bridge product is scheduled for production between the production of the first and second end products.

International Classification:

G06F 19/00

US Classification:

700099000, 700106000, 705028000

Abstract:

A method for automating the replenishing of inventory comprising the steps of storing current inventory level of a product at a receiving plant, storing a reserve level value of the product, storing the consumption rate of the product, storing the inventory level of shipments of the product in transit to the receiving plant, storing the inventory level of pending shipments of the product to the receiving plant, calculating a projected daily inventory level of the product at the receiving plant for a plurality of days, calculating a date when the projected daily inventory level falls below the reserve level, and calculating a date when a replenishing order for the product is to be scheduled.

International Classification:

C08G 7704

US Classification:

528 37

Abstract:

Methyl- and phenyl-containing fluorosilicone terpolymeric fluids over the range of 30 cps to 200,000 cps are effective as additives for various uses. Over the range of 16,000 to 200,000 cps, the fluids are effective as additives in promoting a finger transferable self-bleed of lubricant in fluorosilicone-containing heat-curable rubber compositions, even after a post-bake of the composition. Over the viscosity range of 30 cps to 1000 cps, the fluids are useful in personal care and cosmetic products as water and oil repellency additives. Methods of ring opening polymerization are used to produce the terpolymeric fluids from cyclic reactants.
