OpsFactor Community

OpsFactor Community is the public foundation of the platform for teams that want to run and understand Demand and Supply Planning workflows without depending on the Enterprise runtime.

Official Community release v0.1.0

The tagged backend source and its applicable LICENSE.md are public. Version 0.1.0 is the first official source-available Community baseline.

Current publication status

Item Status now What it means
Bilingual documentation hub Published Functional journeys, data contracts, Community boundary, case, article, and roadmap are public
Community adoption track Published Architecture and the Demand → Supply workflow describe the Community path
License and FAQ Published LICENSE.md is the applicable instrument; the FAQ explains practical scenarios
Community backend source Released as v0.1.0 The exact public baseline is identified by its Git tag

The status source is the public roadmap. A label changes only when the corresponding artifact and its validation evidence are public.

Functional foundation

The Community scope is built from complete workflows, not unimplemented interfaces:

  • classical statistical Demand Planning from sell-out, with historical splits and a material-location Planning Book;
  • heuristic Supply Planning with network, capacity, inventory, replenishment, fair share, a constrained plan, and a Planning Book;
  • master data, Data Operations, and APIs required by both journeys;
  • simple login and a public contract that identifies the edition and the capabilities actually available.

Advanced forecast models, optimizer, process chain, detailed scheduling, pricing, finance, AI, GIS, SSO, and queues belong to the Enterprise runtime. Community does not require those components to compile or run its core.

What v0.1.0 publishes

  1. tagged backend source and applicable license;
  2. Java 21 and Maven build prerequisites;
  3. classical statistical Demand Planning;
  4. heuristic Supply Planning;
  5. material-location Planning Books and operational data contracts;
  6. public architecture, data, and functional documentation.

Publishing these together avoids two false starts: code that compiles but does not guide a planning decision, and documentation that cannot be reproduced against an identifiable version.
