See the baseline plan
This is the starting schedule: 4 lines, 10 orders, everything on time. Check the KPIs and the impact panel — it says “No changes yet” because nothing has moved.
- Line utilization
- 45%
- incl. setups · production-only 43% · outage hrs excluded
- On-time orders
- 100%
- 10 of 10 meet due date · unscheduled count as late
- Changeovers
- 6
- 15.0 h incl. initial setups
- At-risk / late
- 1 / 0
- at-risk = under 8 h slack
Impact vs baseline
Baseline: the default 10-order plan with no outages, captured before any change.
No changes yet — this is the baseline plan. Add a rush order, move a due date, or take a line down to see the impact here. Try taking Line 3 down: its two PVC-only orders have no fallback line and slip late.

How this sample plan is built
- Rush orders first, then earliest due date, then order number.
- Each order goes to the eligible line that would finish it soonest, after that line's earlier runs.
- Changeover before each run: 0.5 h same family, 2 h same resin, 4 h HDPE↔PVC purge, 1 h first setup.
- Runs are not split; a run that would hit an outage starts after it.
Assumptions
- Two 8-hour shifts per weekday; no weekend work. Due = end of Shift B.
- Fixed rates in ft/hr per line; no scrap, startup losses or crew limits.
- At risk = finishes with under 8 production hours of slack.
- A simple greedy rule — transparent and repeatable, not an optimal solution.
