Status are the different time usages or statuses that a process passes during time. There are 5 types:

    • PRODUCTION (shown in GREEN): the process is working to generate a result. This type of status affects the production efficiency of the process.
    • IDLE (shown in YELLOW): the process is waiting. This type of status affects the production efficiency of the process. Examples of idle statuses are: 'changing product' or 'cleaning'.
    • DEPENDENCE (shown in ORANGE): the process is waiting for another process.  This type of status does not affect the production efficiency of the process. In other words, one process could be always in a dependence status, and have a 100% production efficiency. Examples of dependence are: 'waiting for results from another process' or 'there is not stock available to produce'.
    • FAILURE (shown in RED): the process is stopped because of a failure in the process. The process can not continue working unless some action is taken. This type of status affects the production efficiency of the process. Example of failure is: 'process is broken'.
    • NOT SCHEDULED TO PRODUCE (or unscheduled, shown in GREY): the process is not scheduled to work. This type of status does not affect the production efficiency of the process. In other words, one process could be always in a 'unscheduled' status, and have a 100% production efficiency. Examples of unscheduled status are: 'week end' or 'end of day'.
