METHOD, APPARATUS, AND PRODUCT FOR REAL-TIME PREDICTIVE TIME-TO-COMPLETION FOR VARIABLE CONFIGURE-TO-ORDER MANUFACTURING

摘要

A method, apparatus, and product are disclosed for predicting a completion time for completing the manufacturing of an ordered configuration of a product. An order is received to manufacture a particular configuration of a product. Multiple activities are identified that need to be finished in order to complete the manufacturing of the configuration. A completion time that the configuration will be manufactured is predicted based on actual completion times and self-adjusting predicted completion times for the activities.
