What this skill does
# Production Scheduler
## Overview
The Production Scheduler skill provides comprehensive capabilities for optimizing production schedules. It supports finite capacity scheduling, changeover optimization, due date prioritization, and real-time rescheduling to maximize throughput and on-time delivery.
## Capabilities
- Finite capacity scheduling
- Changeover sequence optimization
- Due date prioritization
- Machine assignment optimization
- Setup time reduction
- Order splitting strategies
- Schedule compression techniques
- Real-time rescheduling
## Used By Processes
- CAP-002: Production Scheduling Optimization
- TOC-002: Drum-Buffer-Rope Scheduling
- LEAN-004: Kanban System Design
## Tools and Libraries
- Scheduling algorithms
- Optimization solvers (Gurobi, CPLEX, OR-Tools)
- ERP scheduling modules
- APS systems
## Usage
```yaml
skill: production-scheduler
inputs:
orders:
- order_id: "ORD001"
product: "Widget A"
quantity: 500
due_date: "2026-02-10"
priority: "high"
- order_id: "ORD002"
product: "Widget B"
quantity: 300
due_date: "2026-02-12"
priority: "normal"
resources:
- machine: "Press 1"
available_hours: 16
products: ["Widget A", "Widget B", "Widget C"]
- machine: "Press 2"
available_hours: 16
products: ["Widget A", "Widget C"]
changeover_matrix:
"Widget A -> Widget B": 30 # minutes
"Widget A -> Widget C": 45
"Widget B -> Widget A": 25
scheduling_rules:
- "minimize_lateness"
- "minimize_changeovers"
outputs:
- production_schedule
- machine_assignments
- changeover_sequence
- on_time_performance
- utilization_metrics
```
## Scheduling Objectives
| Objective | Description | Metric |
|-----------|-------------|--------|
| On-time delivery | Meet customer due dates | % on-time |
| Throughput | Maximize output | Units/day |
| Utilization | Efficient resource use | % utilized |
| Changeover | Minimize setup time | Total setup hours |
| WIP | Minimize work in process | $ WIP value |
## Scheduling Rules
### Priority Rules
- **EDD** (Earliest Due Date) - Schedule by due date
- **SPT** (Shortest Processing Time) - Shortest jobs first
- **FCFS** (First Come First Served) - Order received
- **CR** (Critical Ratio) - Time remaining / work remaining
### Sequencing Rules
- **Grouping** - Similar products together
- **Optimal changeover** - Minimize total setup time
- **Color wheel** - Light to dark, small to large
## Schedule Optimization
```
Minimize: Total Lateness + (Changeover Time x Weight)
Subject to:
- Capacity constraints
- Due date requirements
- Material availability
- Resource skills
```
## Real-Time Rescheduling Triggers
1. Machine breakdown
2. Rush order arrival
3. Material shortage
4. Quality issue
5. Labor absence
## Integration Points
- ERP/MRP systems
- Manufacturing Execution Systems
- Order management systems
- Shop floor data collection

IncludedAccess comprehensive LaTeX templates, formatting requirements, and submission guidelines for major scientific publication venues (Nature, Science, PLOS, IEEE, ACM), academic conferences (NeurIPS, ICML, CVPR, CHI), research posters, and grant proposals (NSF, NIH, DOE, DARPA). This skill should be used when preparing manuscripts for journal submission, conference papers, research posters, or grant proposals and need venue-specific formatting requirements and templates.
let-fate-decide
IncludedDraws the 12 Houses of the Zodiac Tarot spread to inject entropy into planning when prompts are vague, ambiguous, or casually delegated. Interprets the spread to guide next steps. Use when the user says 'let fate decide', 'YOLO', 'whatever', 'idk', or other nonchalant phrases, makes Yu-Gi-Oh references, or when you are about to arbitrarily pick between multiple reasonable approaches. Prefer over ask-questions-if-underspecified when the user's tone is casual or playful rather than precision-seeking.
