Abstract

See full text

Methods, systems, and computer program products for controlling production systems. Methods include monitoring actual performance of a production system that includes a plurality of machines. The actual performance of the production system is compared to a planned level of performance of the production system. One or more short-term production constraints in the production system are identified in response to the actual performance being more than a threshold value away from the planned level of performance. A corrective action for the production system is determined to mitigate one or more of the short-term production constraints. The corrective action is applied to the production system.
