摘要:
The disclosure generally describes computer-implemented methods, computer readable mediums, and distributed systems for providing a message-based interface for exchanging customer requirement information. One method includes receiving, via a message-based interface derived from a common business object model that includes business objects having relationships enabling derivation of message-based interfaces and message packages, a first message for providing a notification of an update of product availability including a first message package hierarchically organized as a product available to promise update notification and fulfillment confirmation message entity and an accompanying set of specific, ordered packages, each including specifically ordered elements. The first message is processed according to the first message package's specific hierarchical organization, and a second message responsive to the first message is sent, the second message including a second message package derived from the common business object model to provide consistent semantics with the first message package.
摘要:
A business object model, which reflects data that is used during a given business transaction, is utilized to generate interfaces. This business object model facilitates commercial transactions by providing consistent interfaces that are suitable for use across industries, across businesses, and across different departments within a business during a business transaction. In some operations, software creates, updates, or otherwise processes information related to a customer requirement business object.

An electronic data structure, tangibly embodied in an electronic information carrier, models a manufacturing process, and a computer-implemented method that generates and that uses the data structure. The data structure includes a header structure comprising planned time duration information for a defined manufacturing operation of the manufacturing process. The data structure also includes a resource capacity requirement structure linked to the header structure. The resource capacity requirement structure includes, firstly, planned resource capacity requirement information for a defined resource used in the manufacturing operation, and secondly, planned time refinement information that defines, within the header time duration information, a further refined timeframe during which the defined resource is estimated to be consumed.
摘要:
A system and method are described for performing bucket-oriented capacity checks on resources to determine whether activities can be processed prior to a desired delivery date. For example, a method according to one embodiment of the invention comprises: subdividing a supply chain scheduling timeline for a particular resource into a plurality of time-buckets, each of the time buckets having a specified time period and a specified total capacity supply, the total capacity supply comprising utilized capacity supply which has been consumed by previously-scheduled activities and unutilized capacity supply which is available for processing new activities; in response to receiving a customer request for a specified activity to be completed by a desired date, determining if sufficient unutilized capacity supply exists within one of the time-buckets prior to the desired date; scheduling the specified activity on the resource within the time period defined by a particular time-bucket if sufficient unutilized capacity exists within the time-bucket; and reducing the unutilized capacity by an amount of capacity supply consumed by the specified activity.
摘要:
A method for providing a planning framework for use in managing a project to be planned in a supply chain, comprising providing a first software layer for storing and manipulating planning data relative to the planning project; providing a second software layer for communicating with the first software layer, the second layer arranged for pre processing, preparing and post processing a predetermined planning method. By such a multilayered framework, the invention is able to execute a planning algorithms to solve multi-level planning problems, wherein generic modules can be executed as fast modules in an environment that is highly optimized in terms of load on time and system resources and specifically adapted modules are embodying a particular planning strategy that can operate on a different level that is highly flexible.
