GENERATING A RELIABILITY ANALYSIS BY IDENTIFYING CAUSAL RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN EVENTS IN AN EVENT-BASED MANUFACTURING SYSTEM

摘要

Analyzing an event chronology record to permit identification of periods of a production sequence that correspond to a high probability of failure. Systems and methods include receiving an event chronology for a particular machine in the production sequence and for a particular time interval. A reliability analysis system accesses process flow information to determine whether a particular event in the event chronology is related to a subsequent adverse event within a predefined event window.
