What problem does it solve?
Production scheduling turns competing work orders, sequence-dependent setups, limited capacity, and disruptions into an executable minute-by-minute plan that protects the constraint, meets delivery commitments, and minimizes total lateness and changeover costs.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Constraint-aware sequencing: Identify the drum using utilization and OEE, prioritize jobs feeding the constraint, and sequence using EDD, SPT, or setup-aware heuristics.
- Changeover optimization & campaign decisions: Build setup matrices, apply nearest-neighbor and 2‑opt improvements, and compute campaign vs. mixed-model economic tradeoffs.
- Disruption response & stabilization: Rapid re-sequencing rules for breakdowns, material shortages, absenteeism, and quality holds with frozen-window and communication templates.
- Use Case: Re-sequence a plant schedule after a 4-hour CNC breakdown to reroute feasible jobs, protect high-tier customer commits, and minimize incremental changeover cost while maintaining a 24–48 hour locked stabilization window.
Quick Start
Re-sequence today's schedule around a 4-hour CNC outage using work orders (routings, BOMs, due dates), the setup matrix, OEE and capacity data, and operator skill matrices to minimize total lateness.
