Methods And Apparatus For Material Requirements Estimation And Inventory Management

US Patent:
2005023, Oct 20, 2005
Filed:
Apr 19, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/827637
Inventors:
John King - New Freedom PA, US
Francis Zane - New Providence NJ, US
Assignee:
Lucent Technologies, Inc. - Murray Hill NJ
International Classification:
G06F017/60
US Classification:
705010000
Abstract:
Systems and techniques for determining an amount of reserve material required to meet demand. A period of uncertainty during which varying demand for a product or component must be considered may be computed by taking into account various time intervals relating to the time required to obtain a component of a product and to and incorporate it into a product that is ready for delivery. The number of reserve products or components required may be computed by taking into account the demand for the component. The demand may suitably be expressed in terms of a forecast demand per time unit and a variance factor that provides a desired assurance that demand can be met in the face of deviations from the forecast demand. The forecast demand and variance factor are used to compute a reserve needed in light of the period of uncertainty for the product or component being considered.

Tool Bit Storage Case

US Patent:
5562208, Oct 8, 1996
Filed:
Aug 28, 1995
Appl. No.:
8/520195
Inventors:
Theodore J. Hasler - Chicago IL
James G. Hansen - Winnetka IL
John B. King - New Freedom PA
Assignee:
Black & Decker Inc. - Newark DE
International Classification:
B65D 8524
US Classification:
206373
Abstract:
A tool bit storage case includes a front cover preferably hingedly interconnected with a back cover, with the covers being selectively separable and movable toward and away from each other between open and closed positions and together defining a generally hollow storage chamber therebetween. A removable pivotable tools bit holder is releasably retained within the hollow storage chamber on one of the covers and is adapted for holding one or more tool bits, with the tool bit holder being pivotal within the storage chamber in order to allow it to be selectively pivoted toward and away from the cover upon which it is retained when the covers are in the open position. The covers are also releasably snapped together, into and out of their preferred hinged interconnection, thus greatly contributing to the interchangeability of components to suit a wide variety of storage applications.
