AI agent for production coordinators
Daily Schedule Re-sequencing Agent
A feasible revised schedule that protects due dates and shows any late orders
What it does
The daily schedule breaks when a machine stops, material is late or a rush order lands, and replanning by hand leaves orders late without warning. Each morning, or when a disruption is reported, this agent reads the schedule, machine status, material on hand and order due dates. It re-sequences jobs by due date and priority, with customer priority orders first when dates tie, and groups similar setups only when no order becomes late. It places a job only when material, a qualified operator and the tool are all available, and checks that two jobs sharing one tool do not overlap. If a job cannot start, it moves it later and pulls forward the next feasible one. It calculates new finish times and lists late orders and by how much. The planner approves the sequence and any customer date change.
How it works
Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.
Read the steps as a list
- Disruption reported or morning run
- Read schedule, machine status and material on hand
- Re-sequence jobs by due date, priority and setup family
- Does each placed job have material, operator and tool?If not: move the blocked job later and pull forward the next feasible one. Back to step 3.
- Are there no tool conflicts between machines?If not: shift one of the conflicting jobs to a later slot. Back to step 3.
- Calculate new finish times and list late orders
- Draft customer date change notes for late orders
- Planner approves the sequence and any due date changesThe agent waits here for your OK.
- Published daily schedule and late-order list
How it decides
It orders jobs by due date and priority, groups similar setups when it does not push a job late, and only places a job when material, operator and tool are all available.
- Customer priority orders go first when due dates tie
- Group setups only if no order becomes late
- Never schedule a job without confirmed material
