Abstract: An approach for enabling a monitoring system to immediately identify different types of transactions that occur within a service provider network is disclosed. A proactive monitoring system receives a notification of a change of status of at least one of a plurality of assets provisioned within a network of a service provider. The proactive monitoring system also generates an audit record based on the data independent of one or more transaction classifications, whether the change of status is related to a transaction performed by the service provider, or a combination thereof.

Abstract: An approach for analyzing data generated by a plurality of provisioning systems to validate the status of various assets of a service provider network is disclosed. A validation system retrieves provisioning data from a plurality of different provisioning systems and status data from a status monitoring system. The validation system analyzes the data to validate a discrepancy between the status and the current provisioning of the plurality of assets.

Abstract: A system for generating a price quote to demanufacture a lot of electronic equipment is disclosed. Representative equipment groups are defined which include default values, based upon knowledge and experience, and study values, based upon dismantle studies. When a quote is requested to demanufacture a given lot of equipment, the equipment in the lot is categorized into representative equipment groups. As profit or loss is calculated for each equipment group, if study values are available, the study values are used; otherwise default values are used. Pricing contingency and profit may further be calculated to generate the price quote.

Abstract: Demanufacturing workload is forecast based on anticipated volumes of equipment to be disassembled and/or salvaged, as well as equipment complexity factors determined by disassembly prototyping. Staffing requirements are unique for each customer and are based on the number of pounds needed to be worked during each month and the associated complexity (work content multiplier) for that customer's typical or expected returns.

Abstract: Obsolete and unwanted computer and other products are demanufactured according to a method of recovering the largest revenue. An optimum level of disassembly and parts removal is determined based on strategies involving outright sale, sale of parts, disassembly costs, and commodity recovery. Critical parts are identified and regulatory requirements are included.

Abstract: Items for sale are listed on a first spreadsheet. A digital picture of an item taken by a video camera and imported to the first spreadsheet. Bids for the items are solicited from potential buyers by sending out the first spreadsheet using e mail. Buyers indicate bid amounts and quantities and return the spreadsheets. Returned spreadsheets are combined into a second spreadsheet. An optimization algorithm is executed to determine winning bids. Award sheets for each bidder are generated and sent to the bidders. A trend analysis determines which items meet a criteria for further investment.
