Plan from capacity, not hope
Sequence by machine availability, recipe changeover and delivery risk — not only by who shouted loudest in the morning meeting.
- Machine-wise load and changeover time
- Priority rules for rush and export orders
- Outside job work as part of capacity
- WIP ageing by stage
- Daily plan vs actual review
