Scheduling
The scheduling function will maintain a realistic production schedule that ensures compliance
with promised deliveries. Frequency of schedule update is done to help management understand
the overall condition of the business (weekly minimum). Also, it should be flexible enough to
accommodate changes in demands from customers and requirements from production. Once an
order is released to manufacturing, the scheduled dates will not be changed. Those orders not
yet released may be rescheduled as often as required.
The schedule(s) is/are the final authority on shop priorities
