Abstract
Embodiments of the invention relate to supply chain recommendations in real-time. A filter model and a compliance model are provided to relate product proposal data with product order data, and to apply a measurement to the relationship in real-time. This applied measurement is a factor that is employed with respect to supply chain changes. Specifically, the measurement provides a measured correlation that is determinative of recommendations for changes to an associated supply chain.
Claims24
A system comprising:
- a processor in communication with memory and data storage;
- the data storage having:
- a first database of created order proposals, including time of submission and product specified, wherein an order proposal is an offer for consideration;
- and
- a second data base of firm orders, wherein a firm order includes an offer with consideration attached, including orders received and time of receipt;
- a functional unit in communication with the memory, the functional unit comprising:
- a filter model to apply a correlation to data from both the first and second databases to capture related proposal and order data;
- a compliance model in communication with output from the filter model, the compliance model to measure the applied correlation to specified criteria in real-time;
- and
- a decision manager in communication with the compliance model, the decision manager to apply the measured correlation to supply chain changes.
