| 20090216613 | Availability Check for a Ware - Computer-implemented methods, and associated computer program products and systems, are described for checking availability of a ware for a set of demands requesting the ware. In one aspect, the computer-implemented method includes obtaining a first data structure comprising dates in a predetermined time interval, supply information for the ware associated with those dates and demand information for the ware associated with those dates. The method also includes determining, for each of those dates in reverse order starting from a last date of that predetermined time interval, whether an overconfirmation for the ware is present on a specific date. This is done by comparing the supply information and the demand information. When an overconfirmation is present on the specific date, the overconfirmation is eliminated before proceeding with any subsequent overconfirmation determination by reassigning at least one demand on or before that specific date to a date after that specific date. | 08-27-2009 |
| 20090216614 | Availability Check for a Ware - Computer-implemented methods, and associated computer program products and systems, for checking availability of a ware in a time interval, a resource to produce the ware being associated with the ware. The computer-implemented method can include obtaining capacity supply information comprising a capacity supply for each date of the time interval and capacity demand information comprising a capacity demand for each date of the time interval. The first date of the time interval is set to a later date, there is determined for each date from the first date to the later date whether capacity supply is unused. If capacity supply is unused, the method includes eliminating the specific amount from the capacity supply information. In response to demand information representing a demand having a requested date, availability of the resource on the requested date is determined using the capacity supply information and the capacity demand information. | 08-27-2009 |
| 20090216615 | Availability Check for a Ware - Computer-implemented methods, and associated computer program products and systems, for checking availability of a set of wares in a time interval, each ware having associated therewith at least one resource to produce the ware. In one aspect, the computer-implemented method includes determining at least first and second wares associated with the specific resource. The method further includes obtaining availability information for each of the determined first and second wares. The availability information comprises combined information comprising, for each date of the time interval, a combination of a supply quantity of the ware and a free capacity quantity of the specific resource. The free capacity quantity can be assigned to any of the determined first and second wares. In response to demand information representing a demand for a specific ware, the method includes determining the availability of the specific ware for the specific resource using at least the combined information. | 08-27-2009 |
