  • Publication number: 20200097623
    Abstract: A computing device is configured to form a data structure modeling a production system. The data structure includes a plurality of process node data elements corresponding to production tasks of a manufacturing process described by the production system. Responsive to input, the computing device stores linking data to link process node data elements to objects that describe characteristics associated with process specifications, manufacturing devices, and other process characteristics. The computing device is also configured to update a set of production system estimates associated with the manufacturing process based on objects, and to compare the set of production system estimates to an acceptance criterion for the production system. The computer device also generates a notification indicating whether the manufacturing process described by the production system is expected to satisfy requirements indicated by the acceptance criterion.
