SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SCHEDULING AND SEQUENCING SUPPLY CHAIN RESOURCES

摘要

The process (100) beings at step (102) when a static model of the operating environment is loaded and/or created. The static model is modeled by defining or loading certain input data, for example, horizon information, SKU constraints scheduled receipts, bill of material, and initial assignments. At step (104), initial assignments are placed and materials are allocated accordingly. Before the sequencing system makes plans for fulfilling any not yet planned order, it may plan for orders with pre-defined assignments during the initialization step (104). At step (106), the system created a temporary table of unplanned orders. At step (112), each order is prioritized in the window. Those orders with higher priority will generally be scheduled before those that have lower priority. At step (114), the highest prioritized order not yet planned is selected and the order planned.
