Abstract: A supervisory production system for enabling production initiation and tracking and for securing production progress between upstream and downstream production systems and request systems by receiving production capacity entries and production update entries, converting them into production capacity nodes and production update nodes, and comparing the production capacity nodes and production update nodes to the production requirement and progress nodes, distributing circulation data parcels based on the results, and tokenizing the production to ensure production authenticity and integrity.

Abstract: The manufacturing procurement process described herein allows for the entire manufacturing production process and components to be encoded onto a live distributed manufacturing network platform that combines distributed ledger technology to permit verification, tracking and storage on a specialized blockchain tailored to the protocol and standards of industrial manufacturing. This process also assigns a unique digital blockchain-based “token” that corresponds with each specific Purchase Order, Part, and End Product, and encompasses the specific details relating to that Purchase Order, Part, or End Product, including the original order specifications and production requirements. The use of cryptographically-secured blockchain technology in this process improves the efficiency and traceability of the supply chain, enhancing the audit, traceability, recall and anti-fraud capabilities of manufacturers, and saving significant costs to suppliers, buyers, and ultimately, end users.
