Patent number: 8428987Abstract: A system and method is disclosed for estimating demand of a supply chain including accessing a probability distribution of order lead time of the supply chain. The supply chain has nodes including a starting node and an ending node and a path from the starting node to the ending node. The probability distribution of order lead time describes ending node demand of the ending node versus order lead time. The path is divided into order lead time segments which are associated with the probability distribution of order lead time by associating each order lead time segment with an order lead time range of the probability distribution of order lead time. A demand percentage is estimated for each order lead time segment in accordance with the probability distribution of order lead time, such that each demand percentage describes a percentage of a total ending node demand of an order lead time segment.Type: GrantFiled: May 9, 2011Date of Patent: April 23, 2013Assignee: JDA Software Group, Inc.Inventors: Adeel Najmi, Aseem Kohli, Dharmaraj Veerappanaicker

Patent number: 7886960Abstract: Redistributing parts includes defining locations. An actual inventory of parts is established among the locations, and a desired allocation of the parts is established among the locations. A demand for the parts at each location is determined using the actual inventory and the desired allocation. Paths are determined, where a path transfers an excess part from one location to another location. A transfer function describing a cost of transferring the excess part along the paths is generated. The transfer function is optimized to achieve the desired allocation of the excess parts at a minimum cost.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2009Date of Patent: February 15, 2011Assignee: i2 Technologies US, Inc.Inventors: Rosa H. Birjandi, Omer Bakkalbasi, Dharmaraj Veerappanaicker, Joel A. Shapiro

Patent number: 7685015Abstract: Locations that include supply, manufacturing, demand locations, and channels are defined. A demand is computed for each part at each location. An availability lead-time is estimated for each part at each location and for each part at each channel. A total landed cost is calculated for each part at each location and each channel. A lead-time demand is computed for each part at each location using the availability lead-times for the part. A demand over lead-time is computed for each part at each location using the availability lead-times for the part. A completely filled demand is determined from the lead-time demands and the stock levels, and a partially filled demand is determined from the lead-time demands and the stock levels. A coverage function is generated for the parts at the locations and the channels from the completely filled demand and the partially filled demand.Type: GrantFiled: February 15, 2008Date of Patent: March 23, 2010Assignee: i2 Technologies US, Inc.Inventors: Adeel Najmi, Dharmaraj Veerappanaicker, Aseem Kohli
