1. A method comprising:

  • using at least one processing device;

    obtaining information identifying a predicted trajectory of material-based measurements associated with a transfer of material;

    obtaining actual material-based measurements during the transfer of the material;

    determining whether the actual material-based measurements fall outside of the predicted trajectory; and

    identifying a problem with the transfer of the material if at least one of the actual material-based measurements falls outside of the predicted trajectory;

    wherein the predicted trajectory is defined by first and second margins identifying a range of acceptable material-based measurements over time; and

    wherein determining whether the actual material-based measurements fall outside of the predicted trajectory comprises determining whether each actual material-based measurement falls outside of the range of acceptable material-based measurements.
