Victor: I'm a tech zero, but doesn't Oracle have some new software that manages stuff just like this? They've been pushing it in their TV ads lately.

CPQ uses SAP for mfg planning and Manugistics for supply side, I believe. They have seen a number of shortages on both sides of the pipe as they clamp down but I think from a financial perspective, better to be a little too lean than too fat, especially after the 1st half of this year. It is surely an awesome task, I bet those guys wake up screaming in the middle of the night sometimes.
