Patent ID: 8271103

Claim:
A multivariate analytical system comprising: a processor; a template-generating module in communication with the processor to generate a first template based on a previously-created model that includes a first set of parameters defining at least a portion of a manufacturing process; a data acquisition module in communication with a processing tool to acquire or monitor one or more variables during the manufacturing process and provide information associated with the one or more variables to a model-generating module; the model-generating module to generate a new model having a second set of parameters, the new model being generated according to a statistical analysis based on the first template and the one or more variables upon the one or more variables satisfying a threshold condition, wherein the one or more variables satisfy the threshold condition when the statistical analysis of the one or more variables results in a value that exceeds a threshold value; and a basket or cache module to provide data to the model-generating module or the template-generating module in response to a user selection or the one or more variables satisfying the threshold condition.
