A method for controlling a process of realizing a product. The method defines activities of the process, their precedence relationships and the flow of information among the interconnected activities required to create the product. Resources are allocated and the defined activities are scheduled to complete the process. The method monitors the allocated resources and outputs of the interconnected activities and controls the process by dynamically reconfiguring the activities in accordance with time-variant criterion and selectively modifying the activities in accordance with monitored outputs of the activities to maintain optimal design, fabrication and assembly of the product.

A method for managing a process of realizing a product comprising the steps of: generating directed data flows defining activities interconnected in a precedence relationship to form the product realization process, simulating operation of the generated activity directed data flows, allocating resources to and scheduling the defined activities of each activity, determining status of each activity, estimating time required to perform each activity, receiving status of an initiation and completion of activities and of the allocation of the resources, deriving solutions in response to operation of the activities for enabling reconfiguration of the product realization process and assigning classification codes to each derived solution identifying resulting design and manufacture changes of the product, selecting ones of the derived solutions in accordance with the assigned classification codes, and modifying ones of the activities in accordance with the selected solutions to maintain optimal design and manufacture of the product.
