Systems, methods and apparatus for providing comparative statistical information for a plurality of production facilities in a closed-loop production management system

摘要

For each of a plurality of production facilities, a series of operations is performed. For each of a plurality of batches of a concrete mixture produced at the respective production facility based on a formulation, a first difference between a measured quantity of cementitious and a first quantity specified in the formulation is determined. A first standard deviation is determined based on the first differences. For each of the plurality of batches, a second difference between a measured quantity of water and a second quantity specified in the formulation is determined. A second standard deviation is determined based on the second differences. A first benchmark is selected from among the first standard deviations, and a second benchmark is selected from among the second standard deviations. An amount by which costs may be reduced by improving production at the production facility to meet the first and second benchmarks is determined.

1. A system comprising:
a memory; and at least one processor configured to:
for each of a plurality of production facilities:
determine, for each of a plurality of batches of a concrete mixture produced at the respective production facility based on a formulation, a first difference between a measured quantity of cementitious and a first quantity specified in the formulation;determine a first standard deviation based on the first differences;determine, for each of the plurality of batches, a second difference between a measured quantity of water and a second quantity specified in the formulation; anddetermine a second standard deviation based on the second differences;wherein a plurality of first standard deviations and a plurality of second standard deviations are thereby generated;cause a processing device to display, on a page, the plurality of first standard deviations and the plurality of second standard deviations;select a first benchmark from among the plurality of first standard deviations;select a second benchmark from among the plurality of second standard deviations;cause the processing device to display, on the page, the first benchmark and the second benchmark in a display; anddetermine an amount by which costs may be reduced by improving production at the production facility to meet the first and second benchmarks.
