Abstract: A system and methods for supply chain alert management are provided. An exemplary system enables operations that include identifying an observation associated with the production or distribution of goods. An alert is defined based on the observation in real-time replicated backend data, wherein the alert is configured by logic set using a frontend of a supply chain management system. Additionally, a recipient of the alert and a frequency of alert transmissions are defined, an alert is generated when a condition created by the observation violates a predetermined threshold.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods, systems, and computer-readable medium to perform operations including: calculating a current weight of a bought-in material over a current period; calculating a current weighted unit price of the bought in material; calculating a historical weighted average price of the bought-in material during a historical period; calculating a difference between the current weighted unit price and the historical weighted average price; calculating a material price percentage change by dividing the difference by the historical weighted average price; multiplying the material price percentage change by the current weight to obtain a weighted average percentage change for the bought-in material; and performing one or more actions in connection with the weighted average percentage change.
