Slicing and merging production events

A computing system comprising:

• a processor configured to
• generate a graph of a plurality of production processes modeled as a plurality of intervals of time, via a user interface which are visually displayed as overlapping one another on the graph over a predetermined period of time, each modeled production process displaying a sequence of one or more events,
• divide the displayed graph into a plurality of slices of time based on timings of events within the plurality of production processes,
• select a slice of time on the graph from among the plurality of slices within the predetermined period of time, and
• identify an event that is displayed in an interval of time of each production process during the selected slice of time on the graph based on the visually displayed overlapping plurality of intervals of time;
• and
• a storage configured to store the identified events of each production process together as a group along with an identification of the selected slice of time.

A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored therein instructions that when executed cause a computer to perform a method comprising:

• modeling, via a user interface, a plurality of production processes as a plurality of intervals of time which are visually displayed as overlapping one another on a graph over a predetermined period of time, each modeled production process displaying a sequence of one or more events;
• dividing the displayed graph into a plurality of slice of time based on timings of events within the plurality of production processes,
• selecting a slice of time of the graph from among the plurality of slices within the predetermined period of time;
• identifying an event that is displayed in an interval of time of each production process during the selected slice of time on the graph based on the visually displayed overlapping plurality of intervals of time;
• and
• storing the identified events of each production process together as a group along with an identification of the slice of time.
