Abstract: The present teachings relate to a method for improving a production process for manufacturing a chemical product using at least one input material at an industrial plant, the industrial plant comprising a plurality of physically separated equipment zones, the method comprising: providing, via an interface, an upstream object identifier comprising input material data; receiving, at a computing unit, real-time process data from one or more of the equipment zones; determining, via the computing unit, a subset of the real-time process data based on the upstream object identifier and a zone presence signal; computing, via the computing unit, at least one zone-specific performance parameter of the chemical product related to the upstream object identifier based on the subset of the real-time process data and historical data; determining, in response to at least one of the performance parameters, a target equipment zone where the input material and/or chemical product is to be sent. The present teachings also relate to a system, and a software program.
