Systems, methods and apparatus for providing comparative statistical information for a plurality of production facilities in a closed-loop production management system

A system comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• at least one processor configured to:
• for each of a plurality of production facilities:
• determine, for each of a plurality of batches of a concrete mixture produced at the respective production facility based on a formulation, a first difference between a measured quantity of cementitious and a first quantity specified in the formulation;
• determine a first standard deviation based on the first differences;
• determine, for each of the plurality of batches, a second difference between a measured quantity of water and a second quantity specified in the formulation;
• and
• determine a second standard deviation based on the second differences;
• wherein a plurality of first standard deviations and a plurality of second standard deviations are thereby generated;
• cause a processing device to display, on a page, the plurality of first standard deviations and the plurality of second standard deviations;
• select a first benchmark from among the plurality of first standard deviations;
• select a second benchmark from among the plurality of second standard deviations;
• cause the processing device to display, on the page, the first benchmark and the second benchmark in a display;
• and
• determine an amount by which costs may be reduced by improving production at the production facility to meet the first and second benchmarks.
