Abstract
Systems and methods are described to improve efficiency in the manufacturing of a product for a manufacturer. The system includes a manufacturing route. The manufacturing route specifies at least two dimensions, where a first dimension of the at least two dimensions is a client machine and a second dimension of the at least two dimensions is a process associated with the client machine. A data stream is responsive to the plurality of dimensions. A database is configured to receive the data stream. A processor is configured to provide data from the data stream that indicate a symptom of a problem which can occur within the manufacturing route.
Claims19
A system to improve efficiency in manufacturing a product for a manufacturer through identification of a problem, comprising:
- a manufacturing route, the manufacturing route specifies at least two dimensions, where a first dimension of the at least two dimensions is a client machine and a second dimension of the at least two dimensions is a process associated with the client machine;
- a single multidimensional data warehouse schema, the single multidimensional data warehouse schema to provide definition for multidimensional data, the multidimensional data is to be collected from the manufacturing route and the single multidimensional data warehouse schema is used to both collect and to report the multidimensional data;
- a multidimensional manufacturing route database, the multidimensional manufacturing route database is configured to receive a data stream, the multidimensional manufacturing route database is configured to accommodate the product from the manufacturer through adjustment of the single multidimensional data warehouse schema;
- and
- a processor, the processor is configured to:
- identify specific data from the multidimensional manufacturing route database that indicates a symptom of the problem which can occur within the manufacturing route, wherein the problem is at least one of the following;
- a tolerance of the manufacturing route is out of a first acceptable range,
- a yield of the manufacturing route is out of a second acceptable range, and customer satisfaction for the product is out of a third acceptable range and the specific data is used to identify at least one dimension of the multidimensional manufacturing route database that is causing the problem;
- the processor is configured to receive an input, the input is responsive to eliminating the problem and the input is to be used to change the manufacturing route in order to improve efficiency in manufacturing of the product;
- wherein the processor further comprising:
- a components controller, the components controller to present data on an origin of parts used in manufacturing the product responsive to a query triggered by the problem, the data is extracted from the multidimensional manufacturing route database.

A system to improve efficiency in manufacturing a product for a manufacturer through identification of a problem, comprising:
- a plurality of manufacturing routes, the plurality of manufacturing routes specifies a plurality of dimensions, each manufacturing route of the plurality of manufacturing routes contains as one dimension a client machine and as a second dimension a process associated with the client machine;
- a single multidimensional data warehouse schema, the single multidimensional data warehouse schema to provide definition for multidimensional manufacturing data to be collected from the plurality of manufacturing routes;
- a multidimensional manufacturing route database, the multidimensional manufacturing route database is configured to receive the multidimensional manufacturing data;
- and
- a processor, the processor is configured to:
- display a representation of the plurality of manufacturing routes on a data display, wherein the plurality of manufacturing routes are displayed in a progression that corresponds with increasing time;
- and
- identify specific data from the multidimensional manufacturing route database that indicates a symptom of the problem occurring within at least one manufacturing route of the plurality of manufacturing routes, wherein the problem is at least one of the following;
- a tolerance of the at least one manufacturing route is out of a first acceptable range,
- a yield of the at least one manufacturing route is out of a second acceptable range, and
- customer satisfaction for the product is out of a third acceptable range, and the specific data is used to identify at least one
- dimension of the at least one manufacturing route that is causing the problem, wherein the processor is configured to receive an input, the input is responsive to eliminating the problem and the input is to be used to change a manufacturing route of the plurality of manufacturing routes in order to improve efficiency in manufacturing of the product;
- and wherein the processor further comprising:
- a components controller, the components controller to present data on an origin of parts used in manufacturing the product responsive to a query triggered by the problem, the data is extracted from the multidimensional manufacturing route database.
