Abstract:
1. A computer software program comprising executable code embodied on a machine readable media for execution by a computer of a supply chain computer management system, said computer software program controlling the computer of said supply chain computer management system to provide a supply chain boundary conservation of value and quantity and to provide a status output that is one of audibly/visually displayed or printed, wherein said computer software program performs at least one of a supervising and detection of a transaction variance of value and quantity and value data management by calculating the supply chain boundary conservation of value and quantity of at least one of a supply chain of a unit cell or a cell group in the supply chain boundary, wherein said computer software program operates in accordance with the following mathematical management model of the supply chain boundary conservation of value and quantity, where INPUT is the entrance source input supply chain boundary value and quantity; m is the number of the entrance source of the supply chain boundary; OUTPUT is the output source output the supply chain boundary value and quantity; p is the number of the output source of supply chain boundary; UC is the unit cell initial phase or before transaction variance value and quantity; UC′ is the unit cell end phase or after the transaction variance value and quantity; MC or ADJ is the extra increased quantity when unit cells are performing an input or an output process; and n is the number of unit cells included in the supply chain boundary; and wherein the executable code of said computer software program causes the computer of the computer management system to perform the following steps: (a) deciding a scope and type of supply chain detection and management to be made and an associated supply chain boundary; (b) determining m, n, p numbers and an input computer step, which will decide the number of unit cells within the supply chain boundary and through the boundary entry source and output source number to input data to enable the computer to determine the numbers of m, n and p; (c) inputting the entry source value or quantity step, to provide the needed information of entry source value and quantity so as to enable the computer to make supply chain boundary supervision, detection and management; (d) inputting a required information of value and quantity as an initial phase or before transaction variance value and quantity UC step to, the computer performing the supply chain boundary supervision, detection and management, (e) inputting the required related additionally increased data MC step, which inputs the required information of value and quantity of the required related additionally increased data to the computer performing the supply chain boundary supervision, detection and management; (f) inputting the output source quantity step, which provides a required information of the quantity of the output source to the computer performing supply chain boundary supervision, detection and management; and (g) performing the calculation of mathematical management model for supply chain boundary value conservation of value and quantity such that all of the input information in the previous steps perform a supply chain value, quantity conservation mathematic calculation; (h) outputting an end phase or after transaction variance value and quantity UC′ step, wherein after all the input information calculated in the previous steps the computer management system will provide as an output the result of value and quantity of the end phase or after transaction variance; (i) checking the correctness or incorrectness of the previous step (h), which after all the output value and quantity of the end phase or after transaction variance is determined, the computer will check the correctness or error over the transaction variance of the quantity or value of the supply chain boundary, if it is correct, the computer will continue to make the next supply chain boundary quantity or value transaction variance management; and (j) if an error of quantity or value of supply chain boundary is found, identifying where the error occurred by causing the computer to provide as an output a warning message identifying the abnormal supply chain unit cell, to provide information to make a correction.
