METHOD FOR IMPROVING A PHYSICAL PRODUCTION PROCESS

The invention is directed at a method for improving a physical production process, wherein a precursor charge (1) of precursor material is produced at a precursor production facility (2) through a precursor production process based on applied precursor production settings (3), wherein the applied precursor production settings (3) are entered into a distributed ledger (4), wherein a derivative product (6a, b) is produced at a derivative production facility (5a, b) through a derivative physical production process from at least part of the precursor charge (1), which derivative production facility (5a, b) is distant from the precursor production facility (2), wherein derivative production data (7a, b) describing the derivative physical production process are entered into the distributed ledger (4), wherein the derivative product (6a, b) is recycled at a recycling facility (8a, b) through a recycling process, which recycling facility (8a, b) is distant from the derivative production facility (5a, b), wherein recycling data (9a, b) describing the recycling process are entered into the distributed ledger (4), wherein an analysis system (10) retrieves and enters the applied precursor production settings (3), the derivative production data (7a, b) and the recycling data (9a, b) from the distributed ledger (4) to a computational modelling system (12), which computational modelling system (12) describes a computational relationship between the derivative production data (7a, b), the precursor production settings (3) and the recycling data (9a, b), to obtain updated precursor production settings (11), and wherein the updated precursor production settings are applied to a next precursor production process to obtain a next precursor charge of precursor material.
