Abstract

A production cost analysis system may include data about goods and services stored in an in-memory database. The data may include information about routing, operation, work center, cost center, component, and activity. Production cost analysis may be performed on the data by aggregating the data in real-time, and may include calculating variances pertaining to target costs and actual costs associated with the stored data. The stored data may be viewed, edited, input, or analyzed through a user interface. Methods and devices are provided.

Claims (25)

1 . A computer-implemented method comprising:

storing, through a processing device, data in an in-memory database;

analyzing, through a processing device, the stored data in the in-memory database, wherein the stored data includes information relating to least one of operation, work center, cost center, component, and activity.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein analyzing the data includes aggregating the data in real-time.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein analyzing the data includes production cost analysis.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the stored data can be at least one of viewed, edited, input, or analyzed through a user interface.

5 . The method of claim 3 , wherein the production cost analysis includes assigning production costs in real-time to at least one of operation, work center, cost center, component, and activity.

6 . The method of claim 3 , wherein the production cost analysis includes calculating variances pertaining to target costs and actual costs associated with at least one of operation, work center, cost center, component, and activity.

7 . A device comprising a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including instructions, that when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:

store data in an in-memory database;

analyze the stored data in the in-memory database, wherein the stored data includes information relating to least one of operation, work center, cost center, component, and activity.

8 . The device of claim 7 , wherein analyzing the data includes production cost analysis.

9 . The device of claim 7 , wherein analyzing the data includes aggregating the data in real-time.

10 . The device of claim 7 , wherein the stored data can be at least one of viewed, edited, input, or analyzed through a user interface.

11 . The device of claim 8 , wherein the production cost analysis includes assigning production costs in real-time to at least one of operation, work center, cost center, component, and activity.

12 . The device of claim 8 , wherein the production cost analysis includes calculating variances pertaining to target costs and actual costs associated with at least one of operation, work center, cost center, component, and activity.

13 . A system for analyzing data comprising:

a processing device configured to:

store data in an in-memory database;

analyze the stored data in the an in-memory database, wherein the stored data includes information relating to least one of operation, work center, cost center, component, and activity.

14 . The system of claim 13 , wherein analyzing the data includes aggregating the data in real-time.

15 . The system of claim 13 , wherein analyzing the data includes production cost analysis.

16 . The system of claim 13 , wherein the stored data can be at least one of viewed, edited, input, or analyzed through a user interface.

17 . The system of claim 15 , wherein the production cost analysis includes assigning production costs in real-time to at least one of operation, work center, cost center, component, and activity.

18 . The system of claim 15 , wherein the production cost analysis includes calculating variances pertaining to target costs and actual costs associated with at least one of operation, work center, cost center, component, and activity.
