| 1. A production loss tracking system for a manufacturing system, comprising:
a collection module that collects a processing status from a plurality of processing stations;
an event module that forecasts an upstream production loss event for a first of said processing stations that is upstream
from a second of said processing stations and a downstream production loss event for a third of said processing stations that
is downstream from said second of said processing stations when said processing status indicates that said second of said
processing stations experienced a production loss event; and
a report module that communicates with said event module and that generates a report indicating said upstream production loss
event, said downstream production loss event, and said production loss event.
