1. A method for optimizing material flow and equipment utilization in the fabrication of insulating glass units in a production operation, comprising the step of:

  • a) compiling a plurality of orders used to fabricate insulating glass units;

    b) converting said plurality of orders into production schedules for processes used to fabricate the insulating glass units over a prescribed period of time;

    c) releasing said production schedules to the processes used to fabricate insulating glass units, said production schedules being accessible to users through a computer network;

    d) monitoring production operations data produced as a result of said releasing the production schedules to the processes used to fabricate insulating glass units, and e) providing reports used by said monitoring production operations having image readable indicia that are imaged for providing real-time data for tracking material flow to, from, and through the processes used in the fabrication of insulating glass units.
