Abstract:

A system operating on at least one computer for displaying planning information associated with a supply chain includes an enterprise model, a planning engine, and a presentation interface. The enterprise model represents a supply chain that involves a plurality of products and resources. The planning engine uses the enterprise model to generate planning information for the supply chain according to one or more specified constraints and one or more optimization criteria. The presentation interface generates a first visual display for selected planning information. The first visual display includes a cashflow report providing a net present value for one or more products in the supply chain. Each net present value reflects revenues and expenses associated with a corresponding product according to time periods in which the revenues and expenses occur.
