Abstract
A system and method for determining whether a supply chain network resource may be replenished by manufacture in order to meet demand as defined by an order. The system and method is an attribute-based system and method that may be part of an overall system and method for planning the use of supply chain network resources. The planning system and method may use configurations and bills of material, both of which may be defined by stock keeping units, subordinate stock keeping units and stock keeping unit attribute definition groups, in order to determine whether a resource may be replenished by manufacture. In determining a solution, the system and method may take into account, user and customer preferences including scheduling goals.
