• Producing reports of performance and cost
  • Which cost types should be determined?
  • Should benchmark information be stored in the MES?
  • Which information are used and in which systems the information are available?

 

• Evaluating constraints to capacity and quality
  • What are these events?
  • How often / in what cycle should this happen?
  • How to respond to these events?

 

• Performing performance tests where necessary to determine capacity 
  • Which tests and how often should they be performed?

 

• Comparing different production lines
  • Which comparisons are meaningful (eg utilization, energy consumption, performance, throughput)?
     
• Comparing and contrasting one run against another
  • Which comparisons are meaningful (eg utilization, energy consumption, performance, throughput)? 

 

• Comparing production runs to identify "golden runs" 
  • Should the "Golden Run / Batch" be marked as such?
  • Should criteria also be specified?

 

• Determining why the “golden” runs are exceptional
  • ...

 

• Comparing runs against "golden runs" 
  • Should only current data or historical data be compared?
  • How many production runs should be compared at the same time?

 

• Providing changes to process and procedures
  • Should this also be possible in real time or only after completion of the production (for example, taking over changes in basic recipe)

 

• Predicting the results of a production run, based on the current and past performance
  • ...
     

• Correlating 
  • ...
