A method for managing a manufacturing of an object, the method comprising:
- identifying, by a computer system, work orders for the object that have work areas with less than a minimum safety distance from each other;
- and
- performing, by the computer system, a set of actions for the work orders to manage the manufacturing of the object.
A computer program product for managing a manufacturing of an object, the computer program product comprising:
- a computer-readable storage media;
- first program code, stored on the computer-readable storage media, executable by a computer system to cause the computer system to identify work orders for the object that have work areas with less than a minimum safety distance from each other;
