Manufacturing Ontology

Comprehensive domain knowledge for manufacturing and production operations.

Overview

The Manufacturing ontology provides AI agents with deep understanding of:

• Production planning and scheduling
• Quality control and assurance
• Materials and inventory management
• Equipment maintenance and operations
• Supply chain coordination

Key Entities

Entity	Description	Attributes
Product	Manufactured item	SKU, BOM, Specs, Status
Work Order	Production job	Quantity, Priority, Status, Schedule
Material	Raw material	Part Number, Quantity, Location
Equipment	Production asset	ID, Type, Status, Maintenance
Quality Check	Inspection	Type, Result, Defects, Date

Common Workflows

Production Cycle

    A[Work Order] --> B[Material Check]
    B --> C{Available?}
    C -->|Yes| D[Production]
    C -->|No| E[Purchase]
    D --> F[Quality Check]
    F --> G[Packaging]

Preventive Maintenance

• Equipment monitoring
• Maintenance scheduling
• Parts inventory management
• Downtime minimization
• Performance tracking

Regulatory Compliance

Regulation	Scope	Key Requirements
ISO 9001	Quality management	Process controls, documentation
OSHA	Workplace safety	Equipment guards, training, PPE
EPA	Environmental	Emissions, waste management
FDA	Food/pharma	GMP, validation, traceability

Prompt Templates

Production Planning

Create production schedule:
- Orders: {order_backlog}
- Capacity: {available_hours}
- Materials: {inventory_status}
- Constraints: {equipment_downtime}

Optimize schedule for on-time delivery while
minimizing changeovers and maximizing efficiency.

Quality Issue Analysis

Analyze quality issue:
- Product: {product_id}
- Defect: {defect_description}
- Batch: {batch_number}
- Occurrence rate: {defect_rate}

Identify root cause, recommend corrective actions,
and suggest preventive measures based on quality data.
