Abstract
An arrangement is provided for supply line management. An inventory projection is first generated based on supply line information. Net delta recommendations are then generated utilizing the supply line information and the inventory projection to refine the invetory projection.

3. A method for generating a net delta change recommendation, comprising:
-
accessing supply line information and an inventory projection generated based on the supply line information;
determining an appropriate calculation window;
adjusting, if there is a target inventory during a period within the calculation window, by an net delta change adjustment mechanism, the inventory projection to meet the target inventory; and
generating, if there is either a below minimum inventory excursion, with respect to a minimum goal, or an above maximum inventory excursion, with respect to a maximum goal, by an net delta change generation mechanism, an net delta recommendation to remove the excursion. - View Dependent Claims (4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11)

12. A system for supply line management, comprising:
-
an inventory projection mechanism for generating inventory projection based on the supply line information; and
a net delta recommendation mechanism for generating net delta recommendations based on both the supply line information, retrieved from the supply line information storage, and the inventory projection, generated by the inventory projection mechanism.

16. A system for generating a net delta recommendation, comprising:
-
an net delta change adjustment mechanism for adjusting an existing net delta change to meet a target inventory based on the supply line information and an inventory projection; and
an net delta change gneration mechanism for generating a net delta change based on the supply line information and the inventory proection when either a below minimum inventory excusion, with respect to a minimum goal, or an above maximum inventory excursion, with respect to a maximum goal, is detected. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 17, 18, 19, 20)
