Abstract
A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer program product for prioritizing orders. One or more business factors are prioritized to form prioritized business factors. One or more orders for entities are received. Data about the entities is retrieved. Build sequences for the entities are determined. The build sequences are evaluated using the prioritized business factors to form evaluated business sequences. A business sequence from the evaluated business sequences is selected.
