Patent ID: 7987016

Claim:
A method for optimization of subsequent treatment processes, where end products having end product data are generated from semi-manufactured products having semi-manufactured product data, and at least part of the semi-manufactured products are processed at least in three phases, wherein, the method comprises the steps: processing data for semi-manufactured products to be processed in the last phase are determined from the end product data, processing data for the semi-manufactured products to be processed in the first phase are determined, feasibility of the processing data for at least one intermediate phase is checked based on productive resources of the intermediate phase including machine characteristics of a machine that is to be used during the intermediate phase, optimal processing data for the first phase is determined based on the checking of the feasibility of the processing data for the at least one intermediate phase, and the processing data for the intermediate phase is generated; wherein the optimal processing data for the first phase and the generated processing data for the intermediate phase minimize trim loss.
