1 Define the production schedule

The production schedule is a plan that specifies what, when, and how much your team needs to produce to meet the customer demand and the business goals. It includes the sequence of tasks, the resources required, the deadlines, and the quality standards for each product or service. The production schedule should be realistic, flexible, and aligned with the capacity and capability of your team and the plant.

Sometimes there are instances that arise that prevent the team from meeting the production schedule. Its imperative that you have a good strategy to adapt when this issue arise. There are times you have to back up and punt to realign or work through those times.

Set personal and professional goals will increase productivity and provide a sense of gratification, especially since the goal may be important to the production. Measuring progress is an essential part of setting an effective goal because it will help to prioritize tasks and estimate the amount of time it may take to complete each task. Measuring progress can also help identify how to adjust the plan of action, which will speed up progression

2 Use key performance indicators

Key performance indicators (KPIs) are measurable values that indicate how well your team is achieving the production schedule objectives. You can use KPIs to monitor and evaluate your team's progress, efficiency, quality, and customer satisfaction. Some examples of KPIs are cycle time, throughput, yield, defect rate, downtime, and delivery rate. You should choose KPIs that are relevant, specific, achievable, and timely for your team and the production schedule.

3 Implement a tracking system

A tracking system is a tool that collects, records, and displays the data related to your team's progress and performance against the production schedule. You can use a tracking system to visualize the status of each task, the resource utilization, the completion rate, and the variance from the plan. A tracking system can also alert you to any issues or deviations that might require corrective actions or adjustments. Some examples of tracking systems are Gantt charts, dashboards, kanban boards, and software applications.

4 Communicate and collaborate

Communication and collaboration are essential for your team's success and productivity. You should communicate and collaborate with your team members, other departments, and external stakeholders to ensure that everyone is on the same page and working towards the same goals. You should also provide regular feedback, recognition, and support to your team members to motivate and empower them. You should also encourage your team members to communicate and collaborate with each other to share ideas, solve problems, and learn from each other.

In the furniture industry its a must to work with every member of the production process. Communication is a major key so each department knows what is expected from them. Also being able to communicate with each department is a life line for production planning and scheduling. You can adjust each schedule accordingly to keep product moving effectively.

5 Review and improve

Reviewing and improving are continuous processes that can help you optimize your team's performance and the production schedule. You should review your team's progress and performance against the production schedule regularly and systematically, using the data and feedback from the tracking system and the KPIs. You should also identify the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of your team and the production schedule, using tools such as SWOT analysis or PDCA cycle. Based on the review, you should implement improvements and changes that can enhance your team's efficiency, quality, and customer satisfaction.

Please include the advantages of pull scheduling systems and perhaps explain the pull vs push prospective. Pull is really the only way to truly level load the system without driving up work in process inventory and thus increasing lead time. ( See Little's law)
