ABSTRACT:
A system and process for allowing virtual allocations of resources to lots to closely mimic actual allocations of resources to lots is disclosed. Virtual allocations represent planned or scheduled allocations of an organization's resources to produce various products. Actual allocations represent the actual course of events which occur while the product is being manufactured. A manufacturing interpreter interactively functions with an expert in a manufacturing environment to produce a comprehensive and accurate definition of resources utilized in a manufacturing environment. The manufacturing interpreter further allows the expert to define a comprehensive and accurate process flow description for various products. The process flow description specifies the resources, resource attribute capabilities, and order for applying resources to a single lot to produce a completed product. A planner operates upon this process flow data to generate a processing plan that is specifically adapted for the organization at a particular point in time, and an execution controller utilizes the processing plan to control the manufacturing of products within the manufacturing environment. Operation of the execution controller keeps allocation data current. Thus, the planner has current allocation data with which to merge process flow data for new products.
