The line production routing sheet is used to help schedule.
The goal is to use 100% of the manufacturing plant.
Schedules are based on:
Sales forecasts by day, week, and month for each product
Inventory levels for both raw materials and finished products
Manufacturing capacity to be schedules in terms of the number of products that can be produced per hour or day
Schedules determine the parts or products that should be manufactured each day the plant operates.
