1. A method of performing a wellbore operation comprising:
providing a real-time treatment decision engine, equipment centric decision engine, and equipment controls, wherein the equipment centric decision engine is configured to interface with the real-time treatment decision engine and the equipment controls, and wherein the equipment centric decision comprises an operational database comprising wellbore servicing equipment models;
providing wellbore servicing equipment, wherein the wellbore servicing equipment is operable to be controlled by the equipment controls;
sending a command from the real-time treatment decision engine to the equipment centric decision engine;
evaluating the command using the wellbore servicing equipment models wherein the step of evaluating the command using the wellbore servicing equipment models comprises calculating a readiness level of the wellbore servicing equipment, wherein the readiness level is a sum of conditional capability of the wellbore servicing equipment and operational capability of the wellbore servicing equipment;
selecting wellbore servicing equipment to carry out the command based at least in part on the calculated readiness level of the wellbore servicing equipment; and
sending a control signal to the equipment controls associated with the selected wellbore servicing equipment to cause the selected wellbore servicing equipment to carry out the command.
