01 · Record the first operation
What the team finds
Output falls even though several machines remain busy. Match blocked and starved states with product mix and work-order timing to locate the recurring constraint.
02 · Decide at a later review
Who acts, and what changes
Responsible team · Production supervisor
At the improvement meeting, assess the AI recommendation for upstream release and downstream capacity. The production supervisor approves the sequence and assigns station leads.
03 · Verify in the next comparable operation
How the team checks the result
For the next comparable mix, confirm the release sequence. Compare blocked time, starved time and completed output at the constrained station.
