Patents by Inventor Richard G. Fairbrother

Richard G. Fairbrother has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 9633323
    Abstract: An integrated modeling and analysis system (IMAS) receives documents containing information relating to an overall operations system from a number of integrated product teams (IPTs). The IMAS creates a model architecture of the overall system the information received from the participating IPTs. The IMAS automatically imports the information without any interaction from support personnel. A discrete event modeling (DES) application in communication with the IMAS creates a DES model based on the model architecture in the IMAS. The DES application runs a simulation on the model generating statistical data relating to the overall system for analysis. The statistical data generates output reports in a format compatible with the analysis tools of the user. The IMAS includes a customizable user interface which allows a stakeholder to link and control the modeling information received from all other participating IPTs. Prior simulations and results can be archived for later reference.

  • Publication number: 20090204463
    Abstract: A tool for performing project management analysis on a project. Also disclosed are a system and a method of analyzing the project. The tool includes a project manager implemented to receive project data relating to a schedule, a discrete event simulator to create a model of the project using the project data and to perform a simulation with the model, a database, and an interface to promote interaction between the project manager, the discrete event simulator, and the database.
