Abstract
A machine-implemented method for optimizing a supply chain configuration may include retrieving a supply chain configuration and financial requirements for a product, receiving user input to optimize the supply chain configuration, and outputting at least one most profitable scenario over a desired time period.
Claims20
A machine-implemented method for optimizing a supply chain configuration, the method comprising:
- retrieving a supply chain configuration and financial requirements for a product;
- receiving user input to optimize the supply chain configuration;
- and
- outputting at least one most profitable scenario based on a desired time period.
1 more element
A processing device comprising:
- at least one processor;
- a memory including instructions for the processor;
- and
- a bus for providing communication between the processor and the memory, the memory further comprising instructions for retrieving a supply chain configuration and financial requirements for a product, receiving user input to optimize the supply chain configuration, and outputting at least one most profitable scenario based on a desired time period.
1 more element
A tangible, machine-readable medium having instructions for at least one processor recorded thereon, the medium comprising:
- instructions for retrieving a supply chain configuration and financial requirements for a product;
- instructions for receiving user input to optimize the supply chain configuration;
- and
- instructions for outputting at least one most profitable scenario based on a desired time period.
