Claim One:
1. A computerized method comprising: predicting an end-of-line yield prediction and associated confidence of the end-of-line yield prediction based on collected process data and a yield prediction model with a computing device executing a strategy engine for an equipment engineering system, wherein the strategy engine supervises a plurality of controllers, each of the controllers managing a subsystem of the equipment engineering system; determining if the end-of-line yield prediction includes a yield excursion event or yield excursion conditions including the confidence of the end-of-line yield prediction; comparing the yield excursion event or yield excursion conditions to a plurality of rules by the strategy engine; determining if the yield excursion event or yield excursion conditions correspond to a rule; and instructing one or more of the controllers to perform an action included in the rule; wherein the end-of-line yield prediction includes a yield excursion event and one or more yield excursion conditions, and wherein the rule corresponds to the yield excursion event and the one or more yield excursion conditions; wherein the yield excursion event occurs when the end-of-line yield prediction is below a yield threshold, and wherein the one or more yield excursion conditions include a contributor to the end-of-line yield excursion event and the confidence of the end-of-line yield prediction.
