System and Method for Using Manufacturing States of Vehicle Products for Display of a Manufacturing Process

摘要

A system and method of using manufacturing states in a manufacturing process is provided in which manufacturing states for an article of manufacture are defined at different time periods of a manufacturing process for display as manufacturing contexts relating to an installation plan. The manufacturing states for the article of manufacture are stored in a process database as the manufacturing states are defined during the manufacturing process. The manufacturing contexts relating to the installation plan for the article of manufacture are visually displayed with at least one other manufacturing context relating to another installation plan for another article of manufacture.
