ABSTRACT:
A method and computer system for controlling an industrial process are disclosed. The industrial process has problems which adversely effect its performance. A personal computer is programmed with a database and a custom application. The database contains data describing the attributes and performance of the process to be controlled. The custom application calculates the financial value of each of the problems. The calculation of the financial value of each problem takes into account the impact of each problem on the process bottleneck. The financial values of the problems are used to prioritize the problems, allowing them to be remedied in accordance with their priority.
