This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project will further develop a new Flow Path Management System (FPMS) representing an innovation in Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Supply Chain Management (SCM) that is more effective than existing supply-chain management software paradigms, incorporates "lean manufacturing" principles, and is more available to smaller manufacturing companies than existing systems in that it can be delivered via the World Wide Web. The software has the potential to reduce inventory by 20% or more in companies with complicated manufacturing operations and/or supply chains. In addition, the software can recommend supply chain planning policies that increase throughput, decrease cycle times, and improve customer service.The commercialization strategy is to use distribution channels: (1) on-site Intranet installations at large companies (2) delivery as a web service via the Internet for smaller companies, and (3) licensing the algorithms to larger ERP/SCM vendors for incorporation in their software suites.

这个小企业创新研究（SBIR）第二阶段项目将进一步开发一个新的流程管理系统（FPMS），代表企业资源规划（ERP）和供应链管理（SCM）的创新，比现有的供应链管理软件模式更有效，结合了“精益制造”原则，并且比现有的系统更适用于较小的制造公司，因为它可以通过万维网进行交付。该软件有可能将具有复杂制造业务和/或供应链的公司的库存减少20%或更多。此外，该软件还可以推荐供应链计划政策，以增加生产量，缩短周期时间，并改善客户服务。商业化战略是使用分销渠道：（1）在大公司现场安装内联网（2）通过互联网为小公司提供网络服务，（3）将算法授权给大型ERP/SCM供应商，以纳入其软件套件。
