ASYNCHRONOUS GENERATION OF A PRODUCTION REQUEST FOR THE PRODUCTION OF A PRODUCT ACCORDING TO A CUSTOMER REQUEST

A method produces a product that is executed by a manufacturing execution system. A product production rule is provided and contains a plurality of product segments defining all the resources required. A customer request is received and a production request for the execution of the production according to the customer request is created. The production request copies a workflow of abstracted resources representing the workflow of production steps. The production is executed by applying the production request and asynchronously to the creation of the production request adding the resource which replaces the abstracted resource related to the first production step from the production rule to the production request thereby only copying the actually used resource into the production request and executing the respective production step on that resource. The production of the product is executed repeatedly stepwise until all abstracted resources have been replaced in the workflow.
