Batch Scheduling Review
We review how you sequence production runs and identify where batch order choices are costing you changeover time.
What we look at
Your current week’s production schedule — however you maintain it. We examine batch groupings, changeover sequences, and whether similar setups are run consecutively. We also check if rush orders are disrupting planned runs without a visible record.
Deliverables
A one-page scheduling principle sheet your planner can pin above the board. Specific recommendations for the next two weeks of batches based on your actual product mix. Optional: a simple colour-coding system for setup families.
Who should attend
Whoever builds the weekly schedule, plus one operator who handles changeovers. The conversation works best when both are in the room.
