Production scheduled station by station, with no surprise bottleneck.

Example mockup: the scheduling board of Tolvane Métal, a fictional sheet metal works. Schedule for Thursday 10 September, morning shift from 06:00 to 14:00, six machines: two lasers, two press brakes, one welding bay and one deburring bench. Of 48 hours of capacity, 43.1 hours are committed, including 3.7 hours of changeover, and 4.9 hours are still free, that is 90% load. On the left, five works orders are waiting for a slot, 12.6 hours of work in total. Below, the CNC log and the throughput of each station, with the bottleneck at welding, 14 pieces per hour.
