<p>The present invention discloses a system and a method for handling a production disturbance/opportunity event in a production execution system (MES), comprising:
a) a network comprising a number of data processing units (MC, SC1, SC2, SC3) running a MES software for controlling and/or monitoring a production process operating a number of production components (K1 to K7);
b) a production modeler (PM) within the MES software enabled to define a plant model of the production process;
c) a production scheduler (PS) within the MES software enabled to generate an executable production schedule for the execution of operating procedures for the production components (K1 to K7) related to the plant model of the production process;
d) a production executor (PE) within the MES software enabled to execute the production process following the generated executable production schedule;
e) a production disturbance/opportunity event identifier (DOI) within the MES software being enabled to detect a production disturbance event and to identify a production opportunity event which allows to maintain an efficiency of the production process at least as close as possible to an efficiency given by the executable production schedule as originally generated by the production scheduler;
f) said production scheduler (PS) further enabled to re-calculate an amended executable production schedule incorporating the identified production opportunity event, and
g) said production executor (PE) further enabled to execute the production process now following the re-calculated executable production schedule.</p> |
