When Your Production Plans Fail, Everything Suffers

Overtime doesn’t just happen. Backlogs don’t just appear. Customers don’t walk away without a reason. All of it ties back to fragile planning that can’t keep up with real-world shocks.

When Every Change Means More Overtime

Schedules crack → the floor scrambles → overtime becomes the band-aid. Costs climb while margins shrink, all because the plan couldn’t adapt fast enough.

Small Delays Snowball Into Big Backlogs

One late job clogs the line, orders pile up, and suddenly the whole plant is behind. Static schedules can’t reshuffle fast enough, leaving managers fighting fires instead of staying on track.

Missed Dates Erode Customer Trust

Fragile plans don’t just hurt the shop floor, they put delivery promises at risk. Missed On-Time-In-Full (OTIF) commitments frustrate customers and weaken confidence in your plant.

The Checklist Exposes 3 Critical Gaps in Your Scheduling

Hidden Capacity

Overtime, idle machines, and firefighting eat into throughput. See where untapped hours can be reclaimed without adding new assets.

Delivery Risks

Fragile schedules lead to missed dates and unhappy customers. Identify where OTIF commitments are most at risk before they break trust.

Profit Leaks

Manual fixes, rework, and bottlenecks quietly erode margins. Spot the hidden inefficiencies draining your bottom line.

Stop Guessing. Start Measuring.

Every missed deadline or margin slip ties back to fragile planning. This checklist gives you a quick, practical way to measure planning health, so you can fix issues before they snowball into bigger problems.
