1. A manufacturing execution system comprising:
- a manufacturing execution plan indicative of manufacturing steps to be executed for manufacturing a product,a planning component for determining a context-specific data collection plan for data to be collected during execution of at least one of the manufacturing steps,a service interface for providing the data collection plan in response to a service request,a database for storing data that has been collected in accordance with a context-specific data collection plan; and
an analytical component for analytically processing the data stored in the database, the planning component being operable to determine a modified context-specific data collection plan depending on a result of the analytical processing,wherein the modified context-specific data collection plan is provided in response to a subsequent service request relating to the same context as a previous service request that resulted in the modification of the context-specific data collection plan.

9. A method of operating a manufacturing execution system, the manufacturing execution system comprising a manufacturing execution plan indicative of manufacturing steps to be executed by manufacturing tools for manufacturing a product, the method comprising:
-
receiving a request for a context-specific data collection plan from at least one of the manufacturing too1s; determining the context-specific data collection plan for data to be collected during execution of one of the manufacturing steps depending on the context of the one of the manufacturing steps; sending the context-specific data collection plan to the at least one of the manufacturing tools in response to the request; acquiring data in accordance with the data collection plan; processing the acquired data to provide a result; and determining a modified data collection plan depending on the result, wherein the modified data collection plan is sent to a requester in response to a subsequent service request relating to the same context. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
