The problem
Why this decision becomes expensive without structure
Factories lose 10-30% of productive time to poor scheduling -- excessive setups, missed deadlines, and idle machines while jobs wait in queue.
Spreadsheets and manual planning break down when constraints interact. Generic AI tools lack the structural matching needed to produce usable, reviewable outputs. This use case needs a decision workflow that fits the problem shape, not a one-size-fits-all answer.
