In an industrial processes, a properly instrumented line facilitates capture of data including detected steps, application input, and execution graph transitions, that permit the creation of empirical models of process timing. In this context, a process controlled by individual applications, e.g., at manufacturing workstations, provides a proxy for overall process timing by dividing a workflow into a number of discrete steps completed at each workstation, and further into any number of sub-steps, each controlled by a user and explicitly completed, e.g., by user interactions with widgets or other controls of the application. These applications provide a useful framework for modeling execution timing by providing an initial, implicit model for workflow (based on application control logic) that also facilitates automated detection of process sub-steps based on execution flow, as well as detection and measurement of the contributions of individual widgets and / or combinations of widgets to the process timing. By gathering data in this manner, mixed statistical distributions can be applied based on individual timing data for each possible sub-step, widget, process step, and the like performed with each application.

It can accurately predict key indicators of OTA upgrade activities and provide quantitative basis for proactive intervention and resource planning, significantly improving upgrade completion rate and operational efficiency.
