Patent number: 8150855Abstract: A method, system, method and computer program product for retrieving data. Records are retrieved from a hierarchical database. The records are categorized into a plurality of record types. Each record comprises a unique identifier field. A record map contains zero or more entries. Each entry comprises an identifying value, data from at least one record and a set of Boolean flags. Each flag corresponds to a record type. A computer iterates over the retrieved records. Data from each record is stored at an entry in the record map having an identifying value equal to the value included in the unique identifier field of the record. Moreover, the flag in this entry which corresponds to the record type of the record is set. Inner joins and outer joins are then performed using the contents of the record map.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2008Date of Patent: April 3, 2012Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Shawfu Chen, Adris E. Hoyos, Kevin T. Jones, Bernard Klos, Aleksandr Krymer

Patent number: 7962447Abstract: Techniques for replicating modified data to a hierarchical database. A first list comprises records included in a set of records before at least one modification thereto. A second list comprises records included in the set of records after the at least one modification thereto. For each pre-modification record included in the first list and each post-modification record included in the second list having equal identifying values, a target record at the database and having a matching identifying value is modified. Specifically, if both records include corresponding indexes, information about a structure pointed to by the pre-modification record is removed from an index included in the target record, and information about a structure pointed to by the post-modification record is added to the index. If neither record includes an index, the target record is modified to contain at least one changed value included in the post-modification record.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2008Date of Patent: June 14, 2011Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Shawfu Chen, Adris E. Hoyos, Kevin T. Jones, Bernard Klos, Aleksandr Krymer

Patent number: 7747340Abstract: A method for addressing process variability in a build-to-order, mass customization production environment. The method includes receiving an order for a product having a particular configuration defined by the order, initiating a production order specifically assigned to the order, fabricating the product based upon the production order, determining if an unrelated product order contains an identical product item configuration and automatically swapping identical product items contained on unrelated production orders to optimize overall production process objectives.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 2007Date of Patent: June 29, 2010Assignee: Dell Products L.P.Inventor: Kevin T. Jones

Patent number: 7577577Abstract: A demand fulfillment system and method that uses customer orders to generate a work schedule and a material delivery schedule for a factory that mass produces items, particularly commodities, built to customer order. The demand fulfillment system enables the manufacturer to operate the factory with minimal in-house inventory of parts and/or raw materials by only scheduling work for which inventory is available. Parts and/or raw materials are requested and delivered to an operation of at least one operation on a manufacturing line in the factory from in-house and external inventory based upon the work scheduled for that operation.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2001Date of Patent: August 18, 2009Assignee: Dell Products L.P.Inventors: David J. Lyon, Tomasz P. Wala, Mark R. Graban, Lee B. Beard, Kevin T. Jones, Thomas J. Clark

Patent number: 7379905Abstract: An automated data warehouse for a demand fulfillment system to provide current supply and demand for generating a work schedule and a material delivery schedule for manufacturing items built to customer order. The automated data warehouse includes outstanding customer orders for items as an accurate measure of current demand, and a current state of an available inventory of material for producing the items as an accurate measure of current supply. The automated data warehouse includes a continuously updated location of a quantity of material from the time the material is accepted into available inventory, during movements from one material source to another, throughout work-in-progress, until the time that the material is consumed. A work schedule and a material delivery schedule are generated periodically to keep up with consumption of materials and fulfillment of customer orders using the automated data warehouse as the source of current supply and demand.Type: GrantFiled: May 1, 2001Date of Patent: May 27, 2008Assignee: Dell Products L.P.Inventors: Melissa D. Beebe, Heather L. Fenner, Kevin T. Jones

Patent number: 7346530Abstract: A method, computer system, computer program product, and signal embodied on a carrier wave for scheduling delivery of material to a manufacturer with a plurality of manufacturing lines. Each manufacturing line may include at least one operation, and deliveries are made according to the material requirements for the operation. Parts and/or raw materials are requested and delivered to an operation of at least one operation on a manufacturing line in the factory from in-house and external inventory based upon the work scheduled for that operation. Deliveries are scheduled continuously to allow changes in truck arrival schedules from material sources and changes in material requirements. Requests for materials to be delivered are delayed until the last possible moment for making the request to allow for these changes and to ensure that inventory is stored at a manufacturing line and/or operation for minimum time prior to the time the material is needed.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2001Date of Patent: March 18, 2008Assignee: Dell Products L.P.Inventors: Kevin T. Jones, Melissa Beebe, Shafali Rastogi

The demand fulfillment system and method uses outstanding customer orders for items as an accurate measure of current demand, and a current state of an available inventory of material for producing the items as an accurate measure of current supply. Customer orders are considered a source of demand from the time the customer order is received until the customer order is fulfilled. Material available to the factory is considered to be part of supply regardless of location of the material. A work schedule and a material delivery schedule are generated periodically using the current state of the available inventory and outstanding customer orders to keep up with consumption of materials and fulfillment of customer orders.Type: GrantFiled: May 1, 2001Date of Patent: July 19, 2005Assignee: Dell Products L.P.Inventors: Richard M. Anthony, Kevin T. Jones, Mark R. Graban, Stephen C. Cook, Edward P. Langan, David W. McGuire, Shay D. Scott
