The problem
Where the work gets stuck.
A production plan has to account for people, equipment and overlapping jobs. When a delivery slips or a worker is out, the shop needs to see what moves with it.
What AE built
A system around the task.
- An eight-week schedule with assignments by worker, job and day
- Crew qualifications and weekly workload alongside the production plan
- Disruption simulation to explore how a delay affects the schedule
- Job hours and a weekly production summary in the same application

What changed
What the build makes possible.
The prototype puts the production plan, crew availability and job assignments in one working interface. Production-week results have not been measured.
The evidence
What you can see here.
Supplied views of the production schedule and crew screen. The crew view uses Apex Steel demo branding and sample records; the schedule view carries Worth Steel branding. These show the application, not a client endorsement.
