PURPOSE
    Define a formal AI-readable ontology for Production Engineering,
    including production systems, products, demand, production plans,
    routings, operations, resources, work centres, capacity, scheduling,
    batch size, setup, processing time, cycle time, throughput, queues,
    work in progress, inventory, bottlenecks, line balancing, quality,
    maintenance, performance measurement, provenance, uncertainty,
    confidence and recursive production-engineering reasoning.

CORE_DEFINITION
    Production Engineering is the engineering discipline concerned with
    designing, planning, controlling and improving production systems that
    convert materials and components into required products at defined
    rates, quality levels, costs and delivery conditions.

    Critical Distinction
        Production-engineering reasoning must distinguish production plans
        from schedules, capacity from throughput, production quantity from
        productivity and work in progress from finished inventory. Product
        revisions, plan and routing versions, resource availability, time
        bases, planned versus actual states, gross versus good output and
        provenance must remain explicit.

RECOMMENDED_AI_SUMMARY
    Production Engineering plans and controls how products flow through
    production systems using orders, routings, resources, capacity,
    schedules and quality controls. Reliable reasoning preserves product
    revisions, production plans, routing and schedule versions, setup and
    processing times, WIP, downtime, gross and good output and measured
    throughput while distinguishing planned production from actual
    performance and capacity from achieved throughput.
