METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR OPTIMIZING PRODUCTION FORECASTS USING STATISTICALLY PRIORITIZED DISCRETE MODELING METHODOLOGY
First Claim
1. A computer-based method for dynamic path regeneration in a production environment as a function of stochastic event-driven parameters and constraints, said method comprising:
- examining existing status codes, for a plurality of remaining production jobs, to determine a current status for a production unit;
applying at least one of predecessor relationships and successor relationships for the remaining production jobs to the existing status codes;
analyzing historical job performance statistics for a number of previous production units based on production job performance data associated with the previous production units; and
providing a user interface that depicts the remaining production jobs in order of criticality, the order of criticality determined based on the existing status codes, the at least one of predecessor relationships and successor relationships, and the analysis of the historical job performance statistics.

Abstract
A computer-based method for dynamic path regeneration in a production environment as a function of stochastic event-driven parameters and constraints is described. The method includes examining existing status codes, for a plurality of remaining production jobs, to determine a current status for a production unit, applying at least one of predecessor relationships and successor relationships for the remaining production jobs to the existing status codes, analyzing historical job performance statistics for a number of previous production units based on production job performance data associated with the previous production units, and providing a user interface that depicts the remaining production jobs in order of criticality, the order of criticality determined based on the existing status codes, the at least one of predecessor relationships and successor relationships, and the analysis of the historical job performance statistics.

10. A system comprising:
-
at least one computer configured to execute a computer program that includes a simulation model; and a database containing data relating to active and historical production jobs including predecessor and successor relationships among the active production jobs, production job schedules, production job task durations, and production job task dependencies, the simulation model to cause said computer to; examine the data relating to the active production jobs to determine a current status for at least one production unit; apply the predecessor and successor relationships to the active production jobs for the at least one production unit; analyze the data relating to historical production jobs for a number of previous production units; utilize the current status, the predecessor and successor relationships, and the historical production job data to determine which of the active production jobs are most critical to the overall completion date of the production unit; and present the determination to the user of said computer. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
