The office·Scheduling and dispatch·What the scheduler knows
Half the schedule is in the system. The other half is in one person's head.
On the call, we would ask
- If the planner was out for a month, what would the schedule lose?
- Are the routings and cycle times in the system true?
- Which constraints are unwritten: skills, tooling, the machine that runs hot?
- How long does building the week take?
Also under Scheduling and dispatch
