Systems and methods for modeling a manufacturing assembly line

A system for generating a predictive model for predicting a production level of a manufacturing assembly line comprising at least one cell configured to process a workpiece, the system comprising a processor configured to:

• receive cell data associated with the at least one cell during an operation of an active manufacturing assembly line, the cell data comprising at least one input state of that cell within the active manufacturing assembly line, the at least one input state comprises a starved state in which the corresponding cell received an undersupply of at least one input for processing the workpiece;
• receive line production data associated with the cell data, the line production data being representative of a production level of the active manufacturing assembly line in association with the cell data;
• determine one or more production associations between the cell data and the production level of the active manufacturing assembly line;
• and
• train the predictive model with the cell data and the line production data associated with at least one production association of the one or more production associations to predict the production level of the manufacturing assembly line.
