Production schedules optimized to cut changeover

[Before Eranova]

Building the production schedule meant a planner reconciling a steady stream of new orders against the current schedule, each order's requirement date, and the changeover cost at every workstation by hand. New orders arriving after the plan was set had to be worked back into the sequence, and the optimization parameters that decide a low-changeover order vary workstation by workstation, which makes a good sequence hard to hold in one person's head.

[What the agents do]

1. 01

   The agent connects to the ERP through MCP tools, reading new orders with their requirement dates, the current production schedule, historic schedules, and bills of material.

2. 02

   It carries contextual knowledge of the optimization parameters for each workstation, so it understands what drives changeover at every step.

3. 03

   It reads each new order's requirement date against the current production schedule to determine where the order fits.

4. 04

   It builds the optimized production schedule that meets requirement dates while reducing workstation changeover across the plant.
