20100088162 | Scoring Supplier Performance - A method comprising, defining a supplier scoring tree by, receiving a function of a supplier performance, defining a first node to include the function of the supplier performance, receiving a first value associated with a metric of the supplier performance, defining a second node to receive the first value associated with a metric of the supplier performance, and connecting the first node to the second node with a link, outputting the defined supplier scoring tree to a display, and displaying the defined supplier scoring tree to a user for analysis of supplier performance by the user. | 04-08-2010 |
20100268037 | EVENT-DRIVEN, DYNAMIC PATIENT SCORECARD - In general, the invention provides a design and apparatus (patient scorecard system-PSS) for dynamic scoring of Patient clinical condition based on patient-attributes, medical rules, patient-information events and medical criteria. One aspect of the invention is to offer better tracking of Patient-care and improving the quality of care to patients. The scorecard model is based on a multi-attribute data structure that captures Patient risk based on attributes such as symptoms, causes, past history, errors in medication, bad quality of care, medication history, current costs, MRI, current state of the disease and family history. The scorecard keeps a time-stamped record of the attributes of the patients, and updates them dynamically as new information is available from multiple sources such as medical records, MRIs, Lab-tests, personal patient monitors and others. | 10-21-2010 |
20100299165 | VALUE NETWORK PERFORMANCE COMPARISON ANALYSIS - Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to modeling value networks and provide a method, system and computer program product for a comparative analysis different value nets. In an embodiment of the invention, a value net analysis method can include loading data for CBM components of a first value net for a first collection of business enterprises, and loading data for CBM components of a second value net for a second collection of business enterprises. The method also can include mapping relationships between different business enterprises in the first value net to relationships between different business enterprises in the second value net. Relative underperformance can be identified in a mapped relationship in one of the value nets based upon a comparison of the loaded data for the CBM components of the value nets. Consequently, the under-performing mapped relationship can be visually distinguished in an enterprise view to a corresponding one of the value nets. | 11-25-2010 |
20120290364 | SCORING SUPPLIER PERFORMANCE - A method includes receiving a supplier scoring tree having a first node including a first function of supplier performance connected via a first link to a second node operative to receive a first value associated with a metric of the supplier performance, receiving the first value, performing the first function of the first node, outputting a result of the function to a display, and displaying the result value to a user for analysis of supplier performance by the user. | 11-15-2012 |

20080256031 | Method and Apparatus for Ranking-Based Information Processing - Techniques are provided for ranking-based information processing. Method steps can include integrating information from at least one source (a plurality of heterogeneous sources can also be handled), to obtain integrated information; mapping the integrated information to at least one application; ranking the integrated information based on the mapping and on ranking criteria from a knowledge base; and processing the integrated information, based on the ranking, to obtain processed integrated information. Optionally, the processing step includes formatting the processed integrated information for a plurality of applications. | 10-16-2008 |
20090300072 | ADAPATIVE AND DYNAMIC DATA SYNCHRONIZATION SYSTEM FOR MANAGING DATA AND INVENTORY - A system and method for adaptive and dynamic synchronization includes a data synchronization controller which enables synchronization of a plurality of different data types between a main computer and one or more remotely disposed computer elements. The controller includes an orchestrator which responds to requests for data synchronization for components in accordance with predetermined policies maintained by a policy management system. A synchronization interface is controlled by the orchestrator in accordance with the policies to select a synchronization engine to service requests for synchronization of different data types from the orchestrator. Synchronization may be handled for on demand and/or for on schedule requests for synchronization in the policy-based system and method. | 12-03-2009 |
20100023373 | SYSTEM FOR ENABLING BOTH A SUBJECTIVE AND AN OBJECTIVE EVALUATION OF SUPPLIER PERFORMANCE - A system to enable a subjective and an objective evaluation of supplier performance is provided and includes a commodity/part/supplier search system, a traceability system, an aggregation system, a survey system, an evaluation system, a scoring system, and an alert system to compare the score with the target performance level of the supplier and, if the score differs from the predicted performance level by a predetermined amount, to alert the supplier of the differential. | 01-28-2010 |
