  • Patent number: 11386399
    Abstract: Implementations provide a calendar application for dynamic scheduling and adjustment of events, such as sequential training events. The calendar application is used to specify events that are to occur within a schedule of events, an order in which the events are to occur, and a duration for each event. The calendar application is also used to specify available time periods in which the events may be scheduled. Based on the specified events and available time periods, the events are scheduled into available time periods to generate a calendar, a schedule of the events that preserves the specified order of events. On detecting a change in the inputs, such as a change in the specified events and/or available time periods, the calendar may be automatically updated (in real time with respect to the change) to accommodate the change, while preserving the order and duration of events.

  • Publication number: 20060089865
    Abstract: A computer-aided method for managing a part shipping apparatus development project including a plurality of predetermined processes or procedures is provided. The method includes receiving information about the part and storing a first set of data which identifies the part in at least one database. The method further includes filling out a first electronic work initiation request form including a plurality of fields and stored in the at least one database wherein one of the fields specifies work to be performed with respect to apparatus for shipping the part. A second set of data is stored which identifies the apparatus in the at least one database. Production materials are created which allow the building of production apparatus for shipping the part based on the second set of data.
