Random plate allocation makes dispatch uncertain.

Split time into segments

Separate stock by type and batch status.

Prioritise by product condition, route and delivery option; do not change a recipe without approval.

Quantity does not prove compatibility; plates prepared for different conditions are not interchangeable.

Capacity inputs

  • Plate type and status
  • Dispatch allocation
  • Deferred work

Use return, conditioning and loss records to find the gap; get approval for partial setups.
