摘要：A demand driven pull-through computerized decision support schedulingsystem-- The Cube System-- employing a CUBEBOOKING Program operating in near realtime to load Jobs (a sequence of predefined process) in CubeCells at a Workspace inTime defined in a selected Cube World in response to demand placed on the Cube Worldby a customer order, which program allocates the best available resources to produceproducts (Product Resources) composed of materials (Material Resources on a PositiveBill of Materials) having Features (contained in a Negative Bill of Materials). The CubeSystem operates to keep track of alternate probable process paths by scoring systemsand retains resource usage production history patterns as Prime Data to resolve conflictsbetween capacity-limited resources (Resource Contentions). The CUBEVIEW Programprovides three dimensional representations of Demand and Supply of Resources

(displayed on the z axis) at Workspaces (displayed on the y axis) in Time (displayed on thex axis) by a series of Cube Views, and displays Resource contentions, the presence ofwhich requires user intervention to rotate the cube display to examine the z, y axis(Resources, z, on the horizontal axis; Workspaces y, again on the vertical axis, at time=0, a

given Time Cell) for contentions. Using the view the system recommends alternativereallocation of Resources to other Workspaces to eliminate Resource Contentions in thevarious Cube Cells.
