<p>A method and apparatus are disclosed for permitting the selective suspension and resumption of computer based manufacturing processes which include a plurality of manufacturing operations. A plurality of sequentially ordered textual instructions are displayed (34, 36, 38, 40), each corresponding to a particular one of said plurality of manufacturing operations. The particular one of said plurality of manufacturing operations under current execution (38) is determined and its corresponding textual instruction is graphically designated such that upon suspension of the manufacturing process prior to completion thereof the operation in question may be rapidly and accurately determined upon resumption of the process. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a graphic image of the product being manufactured is also displayed (30), including a plurality of reference numerals (1, 2, 3, 4) which correspond to the plurality of sequentially ordered textual instructions. The reference numeral within the graphic image which corresponds to the textual instruction under current execution is also preferably graphically designated (3) so that the manufacturing technician may accurately resume the process.</p> |
