  • Patent number: 8447644
    Abstract: Systems and methods for supply chain management and identification of feasible plans. Identification of feasible plans includes collecting demands for one or more items having the same level code; and for each of the collected demands, determining a first demand shortage quantity, searching the data storage for available unallocated supply responsive to the first demand shortage quantity, determining a second demand shortage quantity, and creating supply, the creation of supply being responsive to the second demand shortage quantity and the creation of supply including satisfying a dependent demand at a higher level code. Satisfying a dependent demand at a higher level code may include using the system recursively. Using the system recursively may include incrementing a current level code. Satisfying a dependent demand at a higher level code may include performing a feasible plan search relating to items assigned the higher level code.

  • Patent number: 8121885
    Abstract: Systems and methods for supply chain management and identification of feasible plans. Identification of feasible plans includes simultaneous breadth and depth satisfaction of demands. Demands are satisfied using multiple sources of supply, consideration of substitute items, generation of supply, and/or reallocation of supply previously pegged for satisfaction of a lower priority demand. Reallocation optionally includes consideration of items and demands associated with multiple level codes.
