Manufacturing facility and manufacturing method

A manufacturing facility and a manufacturing method are provided herein to manufacture a product according to a specification in a digital manufacturing order. Manufacturing system units to be used are automatically scheduled (S2) and controlled (S3). While performing the manufacturing method, it is determined (S4) whether inspection data for a production result meet assessment criteria. Upon determining that a production result does not meet an assessment criterion, a derived manufacturing order is generated that specifies which production step(s) need to be repeated to obtain a production result that is more likely to meet the assessment criterion. The scheduling is updated in accordance with the derived manufacturing order and optionally newly received manufacturing orders resulting in a continuous manufacturing process.
