Statistical process control and analytics for translation supply chain operational management

A Computer program product for translation supply chain analytics, the computer program product comprising a Non-Transitory computer-readable storage medium having program code embodied therewith, the program code executable by a computing device to:

• receive operational variables of a translation process from a translation supply chain;
• determine a cognitive leverage and a productivity factor for post editing of matches of a plurality of match types generated by the translation supply chain based at least in part on the operational variables from the translation supply chain, wherein the match types include machine translation matches;
• generate predictive machine translation models based on a predictive analysis of the operational variables to reduce linguistic noise in the machine translation matches, wherein generating the predictive machine translation models comprises attaching component markers to the matches as the matches are passed through the translation supply chain:
• generate linguistic markers for the matches of the plurality of match types generated by the translation supply chain, based at least in part on the cognitive leverage and the productivity factor for the post editing of the matches of the plurality of match types;
• perform statistical analysis of the linguistic markers for the matches of the plurality of match types;
• generate one or more analytics outputs based on the statistical analysis of the linguistic markers;
• and output, for display via a user interface, the one or more analytics outputs.
