  • Publication number: 20120316818
    Abstract: A computer-based measurement monitoring system and method for monitoring multi-stage processes capable of producing multi-orderable data and identifying, at any stage in the monitored process, unacceptable deviations from an expected value at particular stages of the process, and communicating same detected deviation to facilitate corrective action in the process. The system and method consolidate data obtained at various stages of the process, arrange the measurement data in a multi-orderable data framework, compare the multi-orderable framework data with expected parameter values corresponding to the various stages, and detects-unacceptable deviations from the expected values. The unacceptable deviations are communicated to responsible personnel, and the system and method provides same personnel with supplemental information useful in diagnosing the root cause of the problem leading to the detected deviations.
