Abstract

A method and system for monitoring production lines (10) and the like, the method and system providing on-line real time production line status using optically distinct display outputs (16) to provide an easily visually interpretable status indication. If actual production on a particular line is outside the production line's upper and lower target limits, the line output is displayed (16) in a first optically distinct manner. If the actual production is between the limits, or above the limits, the line output is displayed in second or third optically distinct manners, respectively.
