US 10,627,808 B2 · Managing manufacturing capacity plan performance

Abstract

Techniques are presented for implementing predictive models that learn from real-time manufacturing capacity plan performance data to continually improve the accuracy of generated capacity plans. Instances of a plan performance predictive model are generated in response to receiving then-current sets of capacity plan parameters, predicted plan performance parameters, and measured plan performance parameters that correspond to various capacity plans implemented at a manufacturing facility. Modeled plan parameters produced by the continually adjusted instances of the plan performance predictive model are used to generate candidate capacity plans with progressively more accurate predicted plan performance and/or overall behavior. The candidate capacity plans are analyzed at a user device to facilitate selection of a capacity plan to implement at the manufacturing facility.
