<p>Integrating event-based production information with financial and purchasing systems in product manufacturing. Some of the disclosed embodiments include a method of tracking production information, a method of analyzing event-based production information to provide financial reports (56), a method of adapting an online production documentation system (162) to provide financial report data (56), and a production documentation system. Also disclosed are computer-readable media for storing a data structure representing an event-based delay or waste record populated during manufacturing, and a method of automatically generating an alert and providing an associated financial report (56) in a process for manufacturing a product associated with an event-based information system. The embodiments are operable in an intelligent manufacturing system including a process for converting raw materials (34) to a product (42), a process control system (36) including one or more sensors (46) capable of generating an alarm (178) in response to an event that results in one of waste, machine delay, or decrease product quality, a data logger (58) associated with the process control system (36) for obtaining event parameters associated with the event, a database on a server for recording event parameters obtained by the data logger (58), and a reporting system cooperatively associated with the database (70) for reporting productivity parameters regarding the process derived at least in part from the event parameters.</p> |
