Typical challenges:
- high machine downtime due to frequent changeovers
- inefficient sequencing
- complex setup matrices
- high manual planning effort
- conflicting objectives between deadlines and efficiency
- unstable production plans in the event of short-term changes
This becomes particularly critical in the case of:
- sequence-dependent production environments
- high product variety
- parallel production lines
- Campaign manufacturing
- complex material flows
