Advanced available-to-promise supply creation-based confirmation

A computing system comprising:

• memory;
• one or more hardware processors coupled to the memory;
• and
• one or more computer readable storage media storing instructions that, when loaded into the memory, cause the one or more hardware processors to perform operations comprising:
• for a distributable product, storing a representation of a production process involving a plurality of prerequisites and input quality parameters;
• receiving a request to promise availability of a first quantity of the product having specific instances of the input quality parameters;
• simulating production of a second quantity of the product having the specific instances of the input quality parameters, wherein the second quantity is smaller than or equal to the first quantity;
• outputting one or more promised delivery terms;
• and
• reserving resources in a production system for production of the second quantity of the product.

One or more computer-readable media having encoded thereon computer-executable instructions causing one or more processors to perform a method comprising:

• for a distributable product, storing a representation of a production process involving a plurality of prerequisites and input quality parameters;
• receiving a request to promise availability of a first quantity of the product having specific instances of the input quality parameters;
• determining a second quantity of the product having the specific instances of the input quality parameters from an existing product supply source;
• calculating a third quantity by subtracting the second quantity from the first quantity;
• and
• simulating production of the third quantity of the product having the specific instances of the input quality parameters;
• outputting one or more promised delivery terms;
• reserving resources in a production system for production of the third quantity of the product;
• and
• responsive to acceptance of the promised delivery terms, committing production of the third quantity of the product to the production system using the reserved resources;
• wherein outputting one or more promised delivery terms is based on time series of estimated product availability data pre-generated;
• wherein outputting one or more promised delivery terms is performed before completion of the simulated production of the third quantity of the product having the specific instances of the input quality parameters.
