Apparatus and method for workflow analytics and visualization of assimilated supply chain and production management (scpm) for industrial process control and automation system

Abstract

A method includes obtaining information identifying transactions from multiple sources. The transactions relate to multiple functional domains of a supply chain associated with an industrial process. The method also includes storing the information in a data store according to a unified model. The method further includes providing a common user interface for different functional users. The common user interface is configured to display multiple visualizations and reports associated with the transactions. The method also includes obtaining, according to a user input at the common user interface, one or more metrics and one or more analytics from the data store. The one or more metrics and the one or more analytics are associated with the obtained information. The method also includes configuring the common user interface to display, according to the user input, at least one visualization or report involving the one or more metrics and the one or more analytics.
