AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing supply chain management systems struggle to effectively manage risks and improve resiliency in multi-level supply chains, as risks upstream or downstream can impact supply planning, and there is a need to enhance on-time delivery rates and reduce inventory while minimizing CO2 emissions.

Method used

A supply chain management system that utilizes computing devices to create a multi-level supply chain network model, incorporating risk information and alternative node candidates, allowing for real-time adjustments to mitigate risks and optimize operations.

Benefits of technology

The system enables effective management of multi-stage supply chains by identifying and addressing potential risks, improving delivery reliability, reducing inventory, and enhancing operational resilience without relying on product design information.

Abstract

To effectively manage a multi-tiered supply chain.SOLUTION: A system creates supply chain network information including information on a directed graph representing a multi-tiered supply chain network including tiers upstream and downstream of a target enterprise. The system acquires risk information on the multi-tiered supply chain network, detects, in the directed graph, a risk occurrence node influenced by a risk and a node of the target enterprise influenced by a defect of product supply at the risk occurrence node, and searches for a substituting node candidate for the risk occurrence node in a node group including a node of an enterprise outside the directed graph. The system presents information on a change plan of the multi-tiered supply chain network obtained by adding the substituting node candidate to the directed graph.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 15
