1. A manufacturing execution system configured to provide an indication of the performance of a line in an industrial process, the line including a plurality of entities, the entities being configured to perform a plurality of jobs to advance production of one or more line outputs, the manufacturing execution system comprising: a configuration module comprising a configuration database, the configuration module being operably connected to a configuration display and user interface adapted to receive configuration inputs from a user of the manufacturing execution system, the configuration module being configured to generate a configuration view on the configuration display and to receive the configuration inputs from the user interface, the configuration module being further configured to: generate an entity model representative of each of the entities in the line in response to configuration inputs entered into the user interface defining parameters for each of the entities, each of the entities being configured to perform one of the jobs to advance the production of said one or more line outputs by producing one or more entity outputs from one or more entity inputs; store each of the entity models in the configuration database; generate a line model representative of the line in response to configuration inputs defining parameters for the line, the entities assigned to the line, and an ordered sequence of the assigned entities, the line model including an indication of a line position for each of the entities in the line based on the user inputs defining the assigned entities and the ordered sequence thereof; and store the line model in the configuration database; and a runtime module operably connected to a runtime display, the configuration database, and a field input of the industrial process, the runtime module being configured to: associate a bottleneck identifier with one or more bottleneck entities using the line position indications and at least one of the defined parameters for at least one of the entities and the defined parameters for the line; determine a line production metric using production data for the bottleneck entities received from the field input and selectively considered based on the bottleneck identifier associated with the bottleneck entities; and display the line production metric on the runtime display to provide an indication to a user of the manufacturing execution system of the performance of the line in the industrial process.
