PRINT PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT

摘要

Printing production management is performed by accessing a production event log that includes entries that correspond to different stages of a plurality of pending print orders. In response to receiving an inquiry for a time for completing process steps of a print job, a current status of the pending print orders is accessed from the production event log. A predictive model for the print job is generated based on completion times for the process steps of the print job accessed from the production event log. A time for completing the process steps of the print job is predicted based on the predictive model and the current status of the pending print orders.

1. A method of managing printing production, the method comprising:
receiving, at a server computing device, an inquiry for a time for completing process steps of a print job; accessing a production event log from storage, wherein the production event log comprises entries that correspond to different stages of a plurality of pending print orders; accessing a current status of the pending print orders from the production event log; generating a predictive model for the print job, wherein the predictive model is generated based on completion times for the process steps of the print job accessed from the production event log; predicting a time for completing the process steps of the print job based on the predictive model and the current status of the pending print orders; and preparing for output the predicted time for completing the process steps of the print job.
