  • Publication number: 20240086821
    Abstract: A computer is used to generate dynamic supply chain delivery options for a product. Data is received at the computer, regarding a delivery of a product to a customer, the delivery is implemented using a delivery system. A change in a delivery time or location of the product is determined using the computer based on updated data received at the computer. A simulation is generated, using the computer, of simulated delivery plans based on the received data and the updated data. The simulated delivery plans are evaluated to determine an updated delivery plan based on parameters. The updated delivery plan is selected based on the parameters, and communicated to the delivery system.
