MUMBAI, India, Feb. 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641008871 A) filed by Sr University, Warangal, Telangana, on Jan. 29, for 'an optimization-based decision support system for multi-stage supply chain management.'
Inventor(s) include Swapna. Penugonda; Dr. G. Swamy Reddy; and Dr P Prashanth Kumar.
The application for the patent was published on Feb. 13, under issue no. 07/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "An Optimization-Based Decision Support System for Multi-Stage Supply Chain Management An optimization-based decision support system (DSS) for multi-stage supply chain management is a computational framework designed to enhance decision-making across interconnected stages of a supply chain, including procurement, production, inventory, distribution, and customer service. This research presents a novel DSS that integrates advanced optimization models with predictive analytics and simulation techniques to address the complexities of modern supply chains characterized by dynamic demand, capacity constraints, lead-time variability, and cost trade-offs. The system leverages linear, nonlinear, and mixed-integer programming approaches, combined with multi-objective optimization, to simultaneously minimize costs, maximize service levels, and ensure sustainability in supply chain operations. By embedding real-time data processing, the DSS supports adaptive decision-making under uncertainty, enabling robust planning for scenarios such as demand surges, supplier disruptions, and logistics delays. Additionally, the framework incorporates sensitivity analysis and scenario-based simulation, empowering managers to evaluate alternative strategies and mitigate risks proactively. The modular architecture ensures scalability across industries, allowing customization for both global and regional supply networks."
