  • Patent number: 9430209
    Abstract: Reference packages may include a self-contained set of implementation tasks, that when executed at a computing system, provide the computing system with a particular functionality. Implementation tasks in a reference package may be compared to an existing configuration of a computing system to determine which of the implementation tasks have already been executed/installed in the computing system and which have not. Implementation tasks that have not been installed may be selected for inclusion in a final target package. Implementation tasks that have been partially installed or installed differently in the existing computing system from the implementation tasks may have secondary tasks added to them in the final target package. Each secondary task may enable a change to the configuration of the existing system to resolve the configuration inconsistency between the existing configuration in the computing system and the configuration specified in a corresponding implementation task.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7310561
    Abstract: Identifying an operation that is critical to meeting a due date of a production order includes identifying operations associated with the production order, obtaining schedules for the operations using infinite production planning, obtaining start intervals for the operations based on the schedules, selecting a target operation from the operations, and determining whether the target operation is critical to meeting the due date based on whether the target operation can be scheduled, using finite production planning, in a start interval obtained for the target operation.
