System and method for scheduling and sequencing supply chain resources

This invention describes a computer system designed to help factories plan their production tasks more efficiently. It works by creating a digital model of the factory, then figuring out the best order for jobs and how to use machines and people, taking into account how long and costly it is to switch between different products. The core method involves modeling the factory, making initial assignments, then picking and prioritizing orders to schedule them one by one.

Why it matters: Filed before modern cloud computing and advanced AI/ML optimization techniques were widely available. Today's computational power and data processing capabilities could handle the complex modeling and real-time adjustments described with far greater efficiency and accuracy.
