A method includes receiving a plurality of operations in a sequence recipe. The plurality of operations are associated with processing a plurality of substrates in a substrate processing system. The method further includes identifying a plurality of completion times corresponding to the plurality of operations. Each completion time of the plurality of completion times corresponds to completion of a respective operation of the plurality of operations. The method further includes simulating the plurality of operations by setting a virtual time axis to each of the plurality of completion times to generate a schedule for the sequence recipe. The method further includes causing, based on the schedule, the plurality of substrates to be processed or performance of a corrective action.
