DEMONSTRATOR 02 / OWNED BUILD
The shift ends.
The job doesn’t.
See what happens when a whole batch moves through three sequential stages and the schedule respects working time.
Calendar: workshop local time, Monday–Friday, 07:00 to the selected shift end. Lunch is 12:00–12:30. Saturday is optional; Sunday is closed.
Model: the whole batch completes each stage before the next starts. Each stage is rounded up to a whole productive minute. This example excludes setup time, other jobs, public holidays and material delays.
THE THINKING BEHIND THE TOOL
Capacity is a calendar constraint.
Adding hours to a start time ignores when work can actually happen. A useful schedule carries each dependency into the next available working interval.
