Method and System for Balancing Asset Liability and Supply Flexibility in Extended Value Networks

摘要

The present invention provides a method, a system, and a computer-readable medium with instructions for a computer to optimize one or more tradeoffs between or among serviceability, liability, and/or inventory in a multi-tier network of suppliers. The probabilistic optimization of tradeoffs enables assets stored at one or a plurality of tiers in the network to be optimally transferred downstream with certain probabilities. The multi-tier network of suppliers may consist of at least one original equipment manufacturer tier and at least one supplier tier.
