  • Patent number: 10580021
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to supply chain recommendations and application in real-time. A correlation between order proposals and firm orders is provided, and a correlation between the proposals and orders is measured in the form of compliance. A command associated with a measurement of the compliance is generated and applied to one or more hardware addressable components or associated machines. The application of the commands changes a physical aspect of the product, thereby effectively transforming a state of the product.
