System and Method of Scenario Versioning

摘要

A system and method is disclosed for scenario management. The system includes a database configured to store data describing a plurality of scenarios, each scenario comprising one or more fields and data describing the supply chain network comprising a plurality of network components, each network component configured to supply one or more items to satisfy demand. The system further includes a server coupled with the database; the server accesses the data describing the plurality of scenarios and accesses the data describing the supply chain network. The server further traverses the one or more fields of the plurality of scenarios until a value is determined and stores the determined value in the database for each of the one or more fields of the plurality of scenarios.

1. A supply chain planning system, comprising:
a computer coupled with the database and comprising one or more processors and one or more memory units to execute instructions to:
receive scenario data comprising a scenario tree, the scenario tree comprising two or more scenarios, each scenario comprising one or more fields;store a value of the scenario data in a base scenario of the two or more scenarios for each of the one or more fields;determine if the scenario data of a child scenario comprises a value in the field and when there is not a value in the field, traverse the scenario tree along a parent scenario recursively, until a value in the field is determined; andstore the value of the child scenario in the field only when the value is different than the determined value in a corresponding field of a respective parent scenario.
