Production Schedule Capacity & Constraint Solver

The three centres are loaded independently and the slip reported is the largest single slip, which assumes lots overlap between stages so that the constraint alone governs the finish date. Where lots cannot overlap - one dye lot must be complete before finishing starts, for instance - the true slip approaches the sum of the positive slips, so treat this figure as the optimistic bound. Rates must be net, not nameplate: the loom figure has to include loom efficiency, warp stops and beam gaiting, the dyeing cycle has to be door-to-door including load, fill, heat, fixation, drain, rinse, after-treatment and unload, and the stenter figure has to include roll and recipe changes. Scheduled hours per machine-day must exclude planned maintenance and shift handover; entering 24 flatters every load by roughly nine per cent. Nothing here models variability, queueing, sequencing rules, shade-family constraints, transport between stages or reprocess, and a right-first-time rate below 100 per cent adds dyeing batches directly to the count. Only weaving, dyeing and finishing are loaded - if warping and sizing, inspection or packing is the real constraint in your plant, put it in place of one of these three rather than assuming it has slack. The tool loads a single order, so it answers whether that order fits an empty window, not whether it fits alongside the work already committed.
