TASK WORKFLOW MODELING INTERFACE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240127144 titled 'TASK WORKFLOW MODELING INTERFACE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes techniques for generating recommendations for re-ordering scheduled tasks to improve completion times. The system displays a schedule of tasks in a work environment, identifies performance metrics, analyzes alternative task schedules, and allows users to re-order tasks with predicted performance metrics.
- The system displays a representation of a schedule for performing tasks among work centers in a work environment.
- It identifies performance metrics associated with the current configuration of tasks in the work environment.
- The system analyzes performance metrics for alternative task schedules in the work environment.
- Interface elements are displayed for users to re-order tasks among work centers.
- Predicted performance metrics associated with alternative task schedules are also displayed.
- Instructions are generated to work centers when a user selects a particular interface element to implement an alternative task schedule.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in industries where task scheduling and completion times are critical, such as manufacturing, logistics, and project management.
Problems Solved
This technology helps optimize task schedules to improve completion times, efficiency, and overall performance in a work environment.
Benefits
The system provides users with data-driven recommendations for re-ordering tasks, leading to enhanced productivity and performance in the work environment.
Potential Commercial Applications
Potential commercial applications of this technology include software tools for task scheduling optimization, consulting services for process improvement, and integration with existing project management systems.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art for this technology could be existing task scheduling software that offers recommendations for task prioritization and scheduling based on performance metrics.
Unanswered Questions
How does the system handle unexpected changes in task priorities or deadlines?
The system does not address how it adapts to sudden changes in task priorities or deadlines that may affect the recommended task schedules.
Can the system be integrated with other software or systems for seamless task management?
The patent application does not mention the compatibility or integration capabilities of the system with other software or systems for task management.
Original Abstract Submitted
techniques for generating recommendations for re-ordering scheduled tasks to improve completion times of one or more tasks are disclosed. a system displays a representation of a schedule for performing tasks among work centers in a work environment. the system identifies performance metrics associated with a current configuration of tasks in the work environment. the system further analyzes performance metrics for alternative task schedules in the work environment. the system displays interface elements to allow a user to re-order tasks among the work centers in the work environment. the system also displays predicted performance metrics associated with the alternative task schedules. when a user selects a particular interface element to implement an alternative task schedule, the system generates instructions to work centers to reorder tasks in the work environment.
