  • Validating process data in manufacturing process management
    Patent number: 6035293
    Abstract: An approach for managing a manufacturing process is provided. A specification and recipe management system (RSMS) manages the validation of new specifications that reference one or more recipes and one or more contexts stored in a recipe management system (RMS). The validation of new specifications includes verifying that RMS code blocks contained in the new specification can be processed by the RMS. Also, the versions of recipes and contexts referenced in the specification are checked to ensure that they are either the current, valid version number or a valid new version number. The RSMS provides a specification browser for examining cross-reference information for specifications, recipes and contexts. The cross-reference information specifies recipes and contexts referenced in a selected specification, subject to a recipe/context filter. In addition, the cross-reference information identifies specifications that reference a selected recipe or a selected context, subject to a specification filter.
