Production Planning & Scheduling: Constraint-Based Production Scheduling & Schedule Recovery

Turn ERP state into an executable, changeover-minimized production schedule in seconds.

Product Thesis & Core Outcome

"Produce the best feasible schedule for the next shift, day, or week, expose the binding constraints that drive it, and let planners recover instantly from line breakdowns or rush orders without messy Excel spreadsheets."

END-TO-END OPERATIONAL PIPELINE

How the Decision Engine Executes

From raw ERP and source system transactions into approved, constraint-validated execution write-backs.

STEP 01

ERP & MRP Ingestion

Ingests production orders, routings, BOMs, work center calendars, and inventory status via SAP/D365 connectors.

STEP 02

Constraint Formulation

Applies finite machine capacity, tool availability, operator skills, and sequence-dependent changeover matrices.

STEP 03

CP-SAT / MILP Solving

Multi-objective mathematical solver optimizes makespan, changeover downtime, and customer SLA penalties simultaneously.

STEP 04

Interactive Gantt Review

Planners inspect schedule density, drill into binding constraints, and review automated AI recovery recommendations.

STEP 05

What-If Simulation

Simulate line breakdowns, expedited rush orders, or material shortages with instant delta-schedule comparisons.

STEP 06

ERP / MES Write-back

Approved operational schedule slots are published back to SAP PP, Rockwell MES, or Siemens Opcenter with full audit trails.

MODULAR SUBSYSTEMS

Nested Accelerator Modules Included in this Pack

Activate the flagship engine standalone or combine with specialized department modules.

Finite Engine

Capacity Optimization

Models true line capacities, multi-stage routings, machine tooling requirements, and maintenance windows to eliminate infeasible overloads.

Inventory Link

Material Shortage & Expedite Control

Dynamically pegs work orders against live stock and inbound PO delivery dates to ensure lines are never scheduled without verified raw materials.

WIP Minimizer

Inventory Policy Optimization

Calculates optimal batch sizing and safety stock levels, balancing changeover cost against inventory holding penalties.

Disruption AI

Production Schedule Recovery

One-click schedule repair when a machine goes down or critical materials are delayed, minimizing downstream cascading delays.

TECHNICAL CONTRACT

Canonical Data Model & Integrations

Built following the Seven Billion Retool & Python Decision Service standard.
