Claim One:
1. A method for predicting at least one feature of at least one product being manufactured, the method comprising: receiving, from at least one sensor installed in at least one equipment performing one or more manufacturing process steps, at least one measurement of the at least one feature of the at least one product being manufactured; selecting one or more of the at least one received measurement of the at least one feature of the at least one product; estimating additional measurements of the at least one feature of the at least one product at a current manufacturing process step; creating a plurality of computational models for predicting future measurements of the at least one feature of the at least one product, based on the selected measurement and the estimated additional measurements; running the plurality of computational models; averaging results of the plurality of computational models, the average of the results representing the predicted future measurements of the at least one feature of the at least one product; and outputting the predicted future measurements of the at least one feature of the at least one product, wherein the step of receiving, the step of selecting, the step of estimating, the step of creating, the step of running, the step of averaging and the step of outputting are performed by a computing system that includes at least one memory device and at least one processor device connected to the memory device.
