1. A method for generating a sequence of operations for a manufacturing process, comprising: monitoring process information describing work elements that can be performed by a plurality of workstations within said manufacturing process; modeling within a control module said manufacturing process based upon said process information through a finite state machine to create a sequence of operations generator generating a list of sequences of operations comprising sequences of the work elements for the plurality of workstations for said manufacturing process; and utilizing said sequence of operations generator to input said process information and automatically generate said list of sequences of operations.
