A line drops in the middle of the shift
The stop is reported, the remaining orders are resequenced, and the changeover already scheduled is not paid twice.
PLAN
Plan production
The problem Sequencing done by hand, and a plan that stops matching reality.

What it does
The sequence your lines can actually run.
Who produces what, when and on which line. The algorithm builds the timeline respecting changeovers, constraints and capacity.
Production reporting- Optimized sequence per line respecting setups and changeovers
- Scenario simulation before committing the plan
- Automatic replanning when reality changes

Plans and orders
How it works
From the data that comes in to the decision that goes out.
-
1
Orders and demand come in
Firm orders, forecast and delivery dates land in the plan, together with each line's calendar and its capacity per product.
-
2
Constraints narrow the options
Setups, changeovers, product families and equipment availability define what can run where, and in which order it costs less.
-
3
Scenarios get compared
Simulate a different sequence and see the effect on delivery dates, setup time and idle capacity before committing anything.
-
4
The plan goes out, and stays honest
Production reporting comes back from the floor. When reality diverges, the sequence is replanned from where the operation actually is.
Requirements
What it takes to go live.
Data it needs
Production reporting
This is the hard requirement. Without it, the capability has nothing to read.
What the plant needs
- Lines and equipment registered, with capacity per product.
- Setup and changeover times, even if they start as estimates.
- Orders or demand with delivery dates.
- Someone who owns the plan and publishes it to the floor.
Where it acts
The step of the plant this capability runs.
What you get
What becomes possible once it is running.
-
One plan the whole plant reads
The sequence stops living in a spreadsheet on someone's machine. Planning, production and sales look at the same week.
-
A delivery date you can commit to
Capacity, setup and material are already in the account, so the date that goes out is a date the plant can hold.
-
Changeover paid once
Compatible products get grouped in the sequence, and cleaning or setup stops being repeated for no reason.
-
Replanning without a meeting
When a line drops, the plan is rebuilt from where the operation actually is, inside the same shift.
Examples of use
On the floor, it looks like this.
An urgent order lands on Friday
Simulate the insertion, see which deliveries slip, and answer with a date instead of a guess.
Changeover time eating the week
Group compatible products in the sequence and cut cleaning and setup without touching the machines.
By role
What each side of the operation gains.
Operation
The shift knows what runs next, on which line and in which order, without waiting for someone to redo the sequence by hand.
Quality and process
Families, cleaning rules and setup constraints are respected by the sequence itself, instead of being remembered case by case.
Management
Delivery risk and idle capacity show up before the customer calls, and every commitment has a scenario behind it.
Integrations
It does not work alone.
Every capability reads from and feeds the others. What this one exchanges inside the operation:
OEE
Efficiency and losses
Production reporting is the same data both read. Real availability and the stop history correct the capacity the sequence is built on.
Open capability
PIM
People on the machines
A line only counts as available when there is a qualified operator for the post. Shift coverage feeds the plan.
Open capability
MMS
Materials and inventory
Inventory movements say whether the material for the next order is there, before the sequence promises a date.
