Abstract

In this paper, we propose an architectural design and software framework for fast development of descriptive, predictive, diagnostic, and prescriptive analytics solutions for dynamic production processes. The proposed architecture and framework are based on a reusable, modular, and extensible Knowledge Base (KB) of process performance models. The approach requires solving the technical challenge of automatic translation methods from a high-level uniform representation of performance models in the Reusable KB into low-level specialized models required by each of the underlying tools, including data manipulation, optimization, statistical learning, estimation, and simulation. We also propose organization and key structure of the reusable KB, composed of atomic and composite process performance models and domain-specific dashboards. Furthermore, we illustrate the use of the proposed design and framework by performing diagnostic tasks on a composite performance model.
