  • Computer-implemented product valuation tool
    Patent number: 7660736
    Abstract: A method of valuing products based on demand probabilities. Products are designed by identifying product components, and combining the components in various combinations to provide standard and non-standard products. Components are valued using an algorithm that considers demand probability as well as known prices of standard products. The component values are added to determine product values and may be used to make pricing and order fulfillment decisions.
    Type: Grant

  • Method for planning key component purchases to optimize revenue
    Patent number: 6826538
    Abstract: A method of calculating supplies of key components based on enhancing revenues in a made to order scheme. Products are designed by identifying product components, and combining the components in various combinations. Key component supplies are calculated using an algorithm that considers demand probability of component and product as well as calculating the marginal value of each component.

  • Computer-implemented value management tool for an asset intensive manufacturer
    Patent number: 6266655
    Abstract: A method of valuing resources of an asset intensive manufacturer. Calculations provide a MAV for each resource (machine) for each time horizon. The inputs for the calculations include the prices of products made by the resource, probalistic demand for the products, usage of the resource by various products, and availability of the resource. A series of equations, one equation associated with each resource, is formulated and solved, using lagrangian methods, with lagrangian multipliers representing resource values.
