A method is provided that includes monitoring a process of manufacturing a composite structure that includes introducing a matrix material to a reinforcement material, applying the reinforcement material into a mold cavity or onto a mold surface with a first machine tool, subjecting the matrix material to a melding event with a second machine tool, and inspecting the composite structure. Data including at least one of first measurement data, error data or second measurement data is determined, and an analysis of the data is performed to summarize the data and thereby produce feedback data including a summary of the data. At least one of the process, the first machine tool or the second machine tool is adjusted based on feedback including the summary, and for manufacture of a next composite structure.
