Machine down. Which tasks actually move?
Five questions sort every task into move, wait or stay. Includes a worked example: eight tasks, one dryer trip.

How do you reschedule production when a machine breaks down? Find everything it touches first. Most of it isn't on the machine.
A guide for planners: material hold times, QC samples, maintenance windows, and five questions that decide what moves.

ALT Card: One machine down. Find everything it touches first. Dryer 1 is down on the production lane, with connectors to the next batch, granules, QC samples and a PM job.
A spreadsheet-based schedule says the next batch starts at the top of the shift. The batch ahead of it finishes early instead. The spreadsheet doesn't know that until someone opens it and edits the cell.
Static tools optimise a snapshot. Adaptive Scheduling optimises a moving target, because that's what a plant floor actually is.
If your schedule only catches up at the next rebuild, that gap is where capacity goes missing. Bodhee Production Scheduling runs on Adaptive Scheduling: bodhee.com/bodhee/production… Request a Demo. #ProcessManufacturing #AdaptiveScheduling
A rush order lands mid-shift. On a rigid schedule, it gets scribbled onto tomorrow's plan and the floor keeps running today's version until someone notices the mismatch.
That's the shift from rigid to reactive: not a bigger plan, a plan that keeps re-proving itself is still right, all shift long.
Question for plant heads: does a rush order on your floor get checked against the live sequence right away, or does it wait for the next time someone rebuilds the plan? #ProcessManufacturing #AdaptiveScheduling
When a machine goes down mid-campaign at your site, how long before the rest of the queue actually reflects it: seconds, minutes, or the next shift handover?
1/8 A capper jams mid-run. It doesn't stop the batches already filled and waiting, but it does stop anything counting on that capper to keep pace. The schedule behind it is now built on a wrong assumption.
7/8 Agents for event management aren't a monitoring layer that flags problems after the fact. They're the reason the reroute already happened by the time anyone on the floor goes looking for an explanation.
8/8 Same question, different machine: a capper jams on your line right now. Does the queue behind it already know, or is that still someone's job to chase down on the floor? #ProcessManufacturing #AdaptiveScheduling
