MULTISTAGE PRODUCTION METHOD AND SYSTEM

For a final product a processing flow has a predetermined sequence of processing steps, each mapped on a particular capacity source that may be applied one or more times in the flow. In particular, various control capacity sources are assigned at relative priorities to their control processing steps according to a relatively weighted set of at least two of the following relative ranked priorities:a. a priority-raising ranked relative Backlog Level for such control processing step with respect to the product in question;b. a priority-raising ranked Relative Load scarcity for such control processing step with respect to the next applicable control processing step;c. a priority-raising ranked Relative Load level for the actual processing step;d. a priority-raising ranked processing step number or nearness of the processing step in question to the end of its process flow.
