20150254673 | Analytics Driven End of Life Product Planning - Embodiments include a data based methodology for projecting cumulative shipments of a product throughout the balance of its lifecycle and comparing that estimate to a proposed sales and operating plan (SOP) to drive scrap avoidance and healthy contention against the SOP that may or may not be attainable. Modelling uses critical milestones to break a product life cycle into manageable segments. One or more recommendations with respect to the SOP are provided, including supporting the SOP or changing the SOP to drive product procurement. | 09-10-2015 |
20150254686 | End of Life Product Planning - Embodiments include a data based methodology for projecting cumulative shipments of a product throughout the balance of its life cycle. Critical milestones are defines, and are employed to break a product life cycle into manageable segments. A double base line curve is employed, with a first baseline curve representing shipment of a predecessor product prior to announcement of the new product and a second baseline curve representing shipment of the predecessor product after announcement of the new product. The curves are used as a reference point with a product analysis to statistically forecast an end of life demand for the predecessor product. | 09-10-2015 |
