Dynamic scheduling in a lean, high-product-mix environment
Walk the shop floor at Ace Metal Crafts and you'll find scheduling boards where everyone can see, at a glance, where jobs stand—if they're ahead of, on, or behind schedule—and, most important, what need to be worked on next.
Workers might see the job sequence change or perhaps a new job appear. Customers might make a new request, or the loads in certain areas might be higher or lower than expected, and so the schedule adjusts to keep everything flowing.
