发明名称 SUPPLY CHAIN NETWORK SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS USING ADJUSTED NETWORK PARAMETERS
摘要 A system is disclosed for adjusting network parameters for a network sensitivity analysis of a supply chain including a plurality of network entities. The system comprises a memory, one or more input/output devices, and a processor. The processor is configured to generate a supply chain network model and determine entity demands and a total network demand for the item. The processor is further configured to determine a total network demand change and iteratively assign a portion of the total network demand change to at least one network entity until all of the total network demand change is assigned. The processor is further configured to adjust the entity demand at the at least one network entity, modify the supply chain network model, analyze sensitivity of the supply chain network model, and configure the supply chain based on the analysis.

主权项 1. A computer-implemented method for configuring, using a processor, a supply chain used to produce and deliver tangible goods based on a network sensitivity analysis, the supply chain including a plurality of network entities, the method comprising: a) generating, by the processor, a supply chain network model for the supply chain; b) determining, by the processor based on the supply chain network model, entity demands for an item at a plurality of network entities and a total network demand for the item; c) determining, by the processor, a percentage change in the total network demand; d) selecting, by the processor, one of the network entities; e) determining, by the processor, an entity demand change for the selected network entity based on the percentage change in the total network demand and the entity demand at the selected network entity; f) adjusting, by the processor, the entity demand at the selected network entity by the entity demand change; g) modifying, by the processor, the supply chain network model using the adjusted entity demand at the selected network entity; h) comparing, by the processor, the supply chain network model and the modified supply chain network model; i) analyzing, by the processor, sensitivity of the supply chain network model based on the comparison; and j) configuring the supply chain according to the sensitivity analysis of the supply chain network model.
