System and method for optimizing resource plans
First Claim
1. A method for optimizing resource plans across multiple networks, the multiple-networks including manufacturing, distribution, and supplier networks, the method comprising:
- creating planning data, planning data containing information regarding constrained resources;
creating planning rules based on user-defined strategies;
generating a plan based on the planning data and the planning rules, wherein the plan optimally allocates the constrained resources according to the user-defined strategies; and
revising the plan in real-time.

Abstract
The present invention describes a method and system for optimizing resource plans across multiple networks. Aspects of the disclosure include creating planning data and planning rules. Planning data contains information regarding constrained resources in the multiple networks. Planning rules are based on user-defined strategies. Additional aspects include generating a plan based on the planning data and the planning rules and revising the plan in real-time. The generated plan optimally allocates the constrained resources according to the user-defined strategies.
