Abstract:
1. A method of managing a production system, the method comprising: receiving, by a processor, an order relating to a formulation-based product, wherein fulfilling the order requires production of the formulation-based product at a first location, based on a specified formulation, transport of the formulation-based product to a second location different from the first location, and performance of an activity with respect to the formulation-based product at the second location; causing the formulation-based product to be produced at a production facility located at the first location, based on the specified formulation; receiving, by the processor, prior to transport of the formulation-based product, first information relating to a first change made to the formulation-based product at the production facility, the first change being a change not specified in the formulation; causing the formulation-based product to be transported to the second location on a vehicle; receiving, by the processor, during transport of the formulation-based product, second information relating to a second change made to the formulation-based product while the formulation-based product is in the vehicle; and receiving, by the processor, after transport of the formulation-based product on the vehicle to the second location, third information relating to the activity performed with respect to the formulation-based product at the second location.
