What the production planning agent does
It builds schedules that balance the things a planner has to juggle, using what is really available.
- Lines
- Balances work across production lines.
- Materials
- Plans around real material availability, not a safe guess.
- Labor
- Takes labor into account when it builds the schedule.
- Ship dates
- Builds the schedule around the ship dates you have to meet.
How it works, and who stays in control
Routine work runs on its own. A person approves anything that carries a cost or a customer.
| Runs on its own | Waits for a person to approve |
|---|---|
| Routine work, within the rules you set | Anything with a cost attached |
| Every action logged | Anything with a customer attached |
