Seeking honest feedback on production planning and scheduling pain points

Hey! I’ve been working on a math optimizer platform in demand planning and production scheduling for the past year, specifically around how schedules break when changeovers, people availability, material timing, and priorities shift.

If you:

Work in flow-shop manufacturing (beverage, pharma, personal care, distilleries, etc.)

Have dealt with production schedules constantly being re-sequenced DAILY

Have opinions on APS tools, Excel-based planning, or changeover pain

I’d love to hear how you handle this day-to-day, and whether this is actually where the pain is.
