Abstract: A system operating on at least one computer for displaying planning information associated with a supply chain includes an enterprise model, a planning engine, and a presentation interface. The enterprise model represents a supply chain that involves a plurality of products and resources. The planning engine uses the enterprise model to generate planning information for the supply chain according to one or more specified constraints and one or more optimization criteria. The presentation interface generates a first visual display for selected planning information. The first visual display includes a cashflow report providing a net present value for one or more products in the supply chain. Each net present value reflects revenues and expenses associated with a corresponding product according to time periods in which the revenues and expenses occur.

Abstract: A computer-related system for visually representing a supply chain includes a supply chain physical window (12). The supply chain physical window (12) displays a plurality of supply chain entities (24), at least one supply chain bar (28) adjacent a corresponding supply chain entity (24), and at least one connector (26) between two of the supply chain entities (24). The supply chain bar (28) provides data related to the adjacent supply chain entity(24), and the connector (26) represents product flow between the two supply chain entities (24).

Abstract: A system for displaying logistics information using one or more computers includes a presentation interface. The presentation interface generates a first panel displaying a plurality of icons and a plurality of links. The icons represent entities in a supply chain. Each link couples two of the icons and represents one or more distribution resources for moving one or more items between entities represented by the two icons. Each link indicates a distribution time associated with moving the items between the entities represented by the two icons. Each link may have a length proportional to the distribution time associated with moving the items between the entities represented by the two icons, or may include a time icon indicating the distribution time associated with moving the items between the entities represented by the two icons.
