Abstract
A method, a system, and logic for simulating production within a build to order manufacturing environment are described. According to one aspect, a system for allocating resources within the manufacturing environment is disclosed. The system includes a control center operably coupled to one or more databases having associated work in process profile information for selective portions of a manufacturing facility. A simulator may be communicatively coupled to the control center to simulate allocation of resources based on real-time acquisition of information associated with the WIP information.
