Abstract
A method and system for factory resource optimization identification is described herein. In one embodiment, an expected usage rate is determined for a resource in a manufacturing facility and an actual usage rate is determined for the resource in the manufacturing facility. A comparison between the expected usage rate and the actual usage rate is facilitated. A determination is made, based on the comparison, of whether a variance between the expected usage rate and the actual usage rate exceeds a threshold. A notification is provided if the variance exceeds the threshold.
Claims21
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- determining, by a server computer system, an expected usage rate for a resource in a manufacturing facility;
- determining, by the server computer system, an actual usage rate for the resource in the manufacturing facility;
- facilitating a comparison between the expected usage rate and the actual usage rate;
- determining, based on the comparison, whether a variance between the expected usage rate and the actual usage rate exceeds a threshold;
- and
- providing a notification if the variance exceeds the threshold.
A computer-readable storage medium comprising executable instructions to cause a processor to perform operations, the instructions comprising:
- determining, by a server computer system, an expected usage rate for a resource in a manufacturing facility;
- determining, by the server computer system, an actual usage rate for the resource in the manufacturing facility;
- facilitating a comparison between the expected usage rate and the actual usage rate;
- determining, based on the comparison, whether a variance between the expected usage rate and the actual usage rate exceeds a threshold;
- and
- providing a notification if the variance exceeds the threshold.
A computer system comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- a processor configurable by instructions stored in the memory to:
- determine an expected usage rate for a resource in a manufacturing facility;
- determine an actual usage rate for the resource in the manufacturing facility;
- facilitate a comparison between the expected usage rate and the actual usage rate;
- determine, based on the comparison, whether a variance between the expected usage rate and the actual usage rate exceeds a threshold;
- and
- provide a notification if the variance exceeds the threshold.
