# Performance Evaluation

**Performance Evaluation** tool is an OntoGuiWeb module supporting the definition of production plans that are need to evaluate the performance of a production system.

A production plan is defined in terms of:

* **Duration**
* **Production Batches** to be produced. Batches are in turn defined by:
  * **Part Type**
  * **Quantity**
  * **Process Plan**
* **Production Systems** whose elements can be used to execute the production plan
* **Controllers** managing the execution of the production plan

In addition, a production plan can be associated with one or more performance histories describing the actual or simulated execution of the production plan. A **performance history** can be instantiated from a log of events (see "Import from TXT file") provided by a monitoring systems or generated by a performance evaluation method, e.g. discrete event simulation (DES). A Mixed-integer Linear Programming (**MILP**) version of a **DES** is available.

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://virtualfactory.gitbook.io/vlft/tools/ontoguiweb/modules/performance-evaluation.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
