Abstract: Methods, systems, computer program products, and articles of manufacture for managing a manufacturing environment are described. An optimized schedule for operators is generated based on an optimization data structure, the optimization data structure comprising one or more manufacturing objectives and one or more resource constraints. The manufacturing activity is simulated based on the generated optimized schedule and an initial state data structure, the initial state data structure comprising a representation of an initial state of the manufacturing environment. The simulation results are analyzed to, for example, determine if the manufacturing objectives are satisfied.

Abstract: Snapshot data may be received indicative of a current state of resources that deliver healthcare to a plurality of patients associated with a healthcare enterprise. The received snapshot data may be automatically used to initialize a healthcare enterprise simulation model. The healthcare enterprise simulation model may then be executed to automatically generate a predicted future state of the resources at a predetermined point in time. Some embodiments may automatically suggest mitigation strategies based on simulated scenarios reflecting potential bottlenecks and appropriate actions that may be taken by the enterprise. The system may continuously and automatically monitor forecast accuracy to detect potential anomalies.

Abstract: According to some embodiments, first current resource data indicative of a current state of first resources that are used to deliver healthcare to a plurality of patients associated with a first healthcare enterprise is continuously and automatically received. The first current resource data may be automatically used to update a healthcare enterprise simulation model. The healthcare enterprise simulation model may automatically generate a predicted future state of the first resources, wherein the predicted future state of the first resources is based at least in part on second resource data indicative of a state of second resources that are used to deliver healthcare to a plurality of patients associated with a second healthcare enterprise remote from and networked with the first healthcare enterprise.
