Abstract
Examples disclosed herein relate to simulating production of an order. In one implementation, a processor extracts information about process flow of an order through resources, resource policy, and prioritization within the production environment from information related to the fulfillment of the previous orders. The processor may create a simulation of the fulfillment of new orders within the production environment based on the extracted information.
Claims15
A computing system, comprising:
- a storage to store information related to the fulfillment of previous orders associated with a production environment;
- and
- a processor to:
- extract information about process flow of an order through resources, resource policy, and prioritization within the production environment from the information related to the fulfillment of the previous orders;
- and
- create a simulation of the fulfillment of new orders within the production environment based on the extracted information.
A method, comprising:
- determining, based on an event log representing the flow of previous orders through a production system, the flow of producing an order through resources of a production system;
- determining, based on the event log, the prioritization of different types of orders within the production system;
- determining, based on the event log, a resource policy related to assigning an order to a resource in the production system;
- and
- creating, by a processor, a simulation of the production system to fulfill a group of orders based on the determined flow, prioritization, and resource policy.
A machine readable non-transitory storage medium comprising instructions executable by a processor to:
- compare a new order to previous orders in a production system to select a similar previous order;
- determine a flow of the new order through a production system graph based on the flow of the selected similar previous order through the production system graph;
- create a simulation of the production system including the new order based on the determined flow, wherein the new order is scheduled within the production system graph based on prioritization and policy information related to the production system;
- and
- output information related to the simulation.
