Abstract
A computer method for enhancing product manufacturing management. The method includes the steps of providing a demand database comprising a compendium of individual demand history; providing a manufacturing database comprising a compendium of at least one of product manufacturing management solutions, product manufacturing information, and product manufacturing diagnostics; and, employing a data mining technique for interrogating the demand and manufacturing databases for generating an output data stream, the output data stream correlating a demand problem with a manufacturing solution.
Claims11
A computer method comprising:
- providing a demand database comprising a compendium of individual demand history;
- providing a manufacturing database comprising a compendium of at least one of product manufacturing management solutions, product manufacturing information, and product manufacturing diagnostics;
- and
- employing a data mining technique for interrogating said demand and manufacturing databases for generating an output data stream, said output data stream correlating a demand problem with a manufacturing solution.
A program storage device readable by machine, tangibly embodying a program of instructions executable by the machine to perform a method for providing an interactive manufacturing management database, the method comprising:
- providing a demand database comprising a compendium of individual demand history;
- providing a manufacturing database comprising a compendium of at least one of product manufacturing management solutions, product manufacturing information, and product manufacturing diagnostics;
- and
- employing a data mining technique for interrogating said demand and manufacturing databases for generating an output data stream, said output data stream correlating a demand problem with a manufacturing solution.
A computer comprising:
- means for inputting a demand database comprising a compendium of individual demand history;
- means for inputting a database comprising a compendium of at least one of product manufacturing management solutions, product manufacturing information, and product manufacturing diagnostics;
- means for employing a data mining technique for interrogating said demand and manufacturing databases;
- and
- means for generating an output data stream, said output data stream correlating a demand problem with a manufacturing solution.
