??? New Episode Alert: Rethinking Manufacturing Scheduling In Episode 7, we’re joined by Prasad Velaga, PhD, President of OPTISOL LLC, who shares decades of expertise tackling the biggest challenges in production scheduling. From the hidden flaws in Critical Path Method (CPM) to the limitations of Kanban in complex environments, Dr. Velaga doesn’t hold back. ??? "CPM only addresses precedence relations—it ignores key constraints like resource availability and batching, creating inefficiencies during execution." In this clip, Dr. Velaga highlights why CPM often falls short in real-world manufacturing and what smarter, more effective approaches could look like. ?? Curious about how AI and advanced algorithms can revolutionize scheduling? Don’t miss this in-depth discussion filled with actionable insights for 2024 and beyond. ??
