Data Analysis Model for Comprehensive Management of the Production Process and Economic Performance of a Metallurgical Company

Resumo

We describe a design concept for a data analysis system to support process automation for comprehensive management of the production process and economic performance of a metallurgical company, and for making automated technical and economic performance decisions. This topic has been widely discussed in the worldwide scientific literature, but the potential risks of automating the decision-making process have received scant attention. Certain applied problems will require development of procedures supported by a cost-benefit analysis of the automation tools.
