MANAGING A FACILITY

摘要

In a method for managing a facility that is to receive resources from a first resource supply, a supply of resources available from the first resource supply is predicted for a predetermined period of time. In addition, a demand for resources in the facility during the predetermined period of time is predicted. A capacity schedule for the facility is planned to meet a predefined operational goal, in which the plan of the capacity schedule uses as inputs, the predicted supply of resources available from the first resource supply and the predicted demand for resources in the facility during the predetermined period of time. Moreover, a determination as to whether the planned capacity schedule meets the predefined operational goal is made.
