Abstract: A method of predicting sequence for a manufacturing process to assemble a product includes obtaining a target plan for the manufacturing process. The target plan defines a process segment to be performed during the manufacturing process. The method includes retrieving a plurality of surrogate process segments based on the target plan, determining, for each surrogate process segment from the plurality of surrogate process segments, a segment similarity value based on at least one of a textual similarity and a sequence similarity between the surrogate process segment and the process segment of the target plan, and generating a target process defining a process sequence for performing the manufacturing process based on the segment similarity values of the plurality of surrogate process segments and a sequence inference model.

Abstract: A method of predicting sequence for a manufacturing process to assemble a product based on a target plan for the manufacturing process includes retrieving, from a historical process database, a plurality of surrogate process segments based on the target plan, determining, for each surrogate process segment from the plurality of surrogate process segments, a segment similarity value based on a data analysis model, and generating a target process defining a process sequence for performing the manufacturing process based on the segment similarity values of the plurality of surrogate process segments and a sequence inference model that classifies the process segment of the target plan to sequences defined by the plurality of surrogate process segments. The target process includes data that defines a plurality of selected process steps and one or more workstations for the process segment of the target plan.
