title: Graph Database modeling for Scheduling and Workflow Analysis in Manufacturing
body: <p>We are looking to apply a Graph Database to help us understand bottlenecks, resource utilization, latency issues, and other time related issues related to the workflow in a manufacturing production line.</p>
  
  <p>Google searches have not come up with too much:</p>

  <p>Is anyone aware of related work?</p>
  
  <p>I would expect the graph would  minimally need to model:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Resources (humans, tool bench (workstations)</li>
  <li>Operations (skills needed, duration, required sub-assemblies)</li>
  <li>Sub-assemblies (the materials or derivative outputs from each assembly task).</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Is there more?</p>
