ABSTRACT
A method for order prioritization includes calculating a cycle time for a product order of a plurality of product orders using an arti?cial neural network, determining a ?rst order priority of the product order based on a priority index using an ana
lytic hierarchy process, determining a second order priority of (73)

the product order based on event based simulation model, and determining a shipping date for the product orderbased on the second order priority. The arti?cial neural network calculates the cycle time based upon product order type and a plurality mines a ?rst order priority based upon a plurality of product

order attributes. The simulation model determines a second order priority and completion time based upon the ?rst order
priority, product model, product type, a plurality of compo nent counts, manufacturing capacity and inventory data, and production time data for historical product orders.
