ABSTRACT:
A production loss tracking system for a manufacturing system includes a collection module, an event module, and a report module. The collection module collects a processing status from a plurality of processing stations. The event module forecasts an upstream production loss event for a first of the processing stations that is upstream from a second of the processing stations that experienced a production loss event when the processing status indicates the production loss event. The event module forecasts a downstream production loss event for a third of the processing stations that is downstream from the second of the processing stations that experienced the production loss event when the processing status indicates the production loss event. The report module communicates with the event module and generates a report indicating the upstream production loss event, the downstream production loss event, and the production loss event.
