# Advanced Production Scheduling

> Smart production planning that respects shop floor constraints and maximizes throughput.

Scheduling is where the plan meets the reality of the shop floor. Orion builds production planning that respects the technical constraints of your resources (setup, compatibility, availability) and finds the schedule that delivers more, on time, with fewer changeovers.

## Overview

- Area: Industrial Operations
- Delivery: customizable solution
- First pilot: about 8 weeks
- Solution 10 of 15
- Topics: Minimized setup, Technical constraints, Real-time what-if

## When this decision gets expensive

If two or more sound familiar, this solution will most likely pay for itself.

- The weekly schedule is redone by hand with every rush order.
- Setup time eats up a significant share of available capacity.
- Committing to a delivery date for sales is an exercise in personal guesswork.
- There is no quick way to simulate the impact of a new order.

## What Orion delivers

- A scheduling model with sequence-dependent setups and resource constraints.
- A production schedule generated in minutes, not work shifts.
- What-if simulation to give sales delivery dates based on the real plan.
- Fast replanning in response to breakdowns, material shortages or rush orders.

## Technical foundation

- **Constrained scheduling:** Mixed-integer programming and constraint programming over machines, molds and tooling.
- **Sequence-dependent setups:** A changeover matrix by family and attribute, minimized within the scheduling horizon.
- **Rolling horizon:** Incremental replanning that preserves what is already in progress.

## Indicators tracked

- Throughput per period
- Total setup time
- Adherence to the production plan
- On-time delivery (OTIF)

## Case studies for this solution

- [Production scheduling cut setups by 70% and delays by 78%](https://orionotimizacao.com/en/case-studies/production-scheduling-setups-and-delays) — Line scheduling, which used to take two weeks of manual work, is now solved in one hour, with a three-month horizon.
