P_00006 — Committed orders are sequenced through manual asset-by-asset judgment

One testable operational mismatch: the schedule records orders and required dates, while the feasible asset allocation and sequence remain in planner judgment.

    status: approved
    statement_type: market_hypothesis
    applies_to_icp_ids: []
    situation: >-
      Accepted orders can run on several production assets or sites, those
      assets differ in output and suitability, and sequencing must also account
      for due dates, changeovers, run continuity, location, and freight.
    operational_mismatch: >-
      The production record holds required dates and available orders, but it
      does not resolve asset allocation and sequence across the relevant
      constraints. A planner manually constructs and revises the production
      arrangement using experience and inspection of each line.
    possible_consequences:
      - 'Unslotted orders remain outside the active sequence until a planner places them.'
      - >-
        Asset, changeover, and run-length tradeoffs must be reconsidered manually
        as the schedule changes.
      - >-
        The resulting sequence depends on planner knowledge that is not
        represented in the schedule.
    observable_signals:
      - 'Scheduling is described as Tetris, manual slotting, or fitting orders into gaps.'
      - 'A planner reviews several eligible assets before placing an order.'
      - 'Orders with required dates remain unslotted in the scheduling view.'
      - >-
        Changeover reduction and keeping similar work running are manual
        scheduling objectives.
    disconfirming_signals:
      - >-
        The scheduling system produces a feasible asset and sequence assignment
        using maintained rates, capabilities, due dates, and changeover rules.
      - >-
        Planners review recorded exceptions rather than manually placing the
        ordinary order population.
    confirmation_questions: []
    evidence_requirement: >-
      One representative scheduling cycle showing the orders available, the
      initial system-generated allocation if any, the planner's manual changes,
      and which constraints drove those changes.
    evidence_ids: []
    prohibited_claims:
      - 'That manual scheduling necessarily causes late delivery or lost margin.'
      - 'That production scheduling can or should operate without planner review.'
      - 'Any quantified changeover, utilization, freight, or output improvement.'
