Manufacturing reference articles in Planning.

[Manufacturing Wiki](https://planar.so/wiki/index.md)

- [Bar cutting optimization](https://planar.so/wiki/production/planning/bar-cutting-optimization.md): One-dimensional cut planning with stock eligibility, kerf, end allowances, integer demand, remnants, objective tradeoffs and executable cut lists.
- [Bottleneck capacity](https://planar.so/wiki/production/planning/bottleneck-capacity.md): Identify load that exceeds available production capacity, reconcile time losses and product mix, and evaluate changes at the system constraint.
- [Common-line nesting](https://planar.so/wiki/production/planning/common-line-nesting.md): Shared-edge cut planning: compatible parts, kerf ownership, cut-side quality, sequencing, dimensional checks and realistic savings.
- [Cycle time](https://planar.so/wiki/production/planning/cycle-time.md): How to define, measure and use production cycle times without confusing machine time, output pace, takt or elapsed lead time.
- [Economic order quantity](https://planar.so/wiki/production/planning/economic-order-quantity.md): EOQ as a bounded lot-sizing model: ordering/holding costs, consistent units, feasible pack sizes, sensitivity, reorder timing and model limits.
- [Economic production quantity](https://planar.so/wiki/production/planning/economic-production-quantity.md): Finite-rate production lot sizing: net inventory buildup, setup/holding tradeoffs, run and cycle times, and capacity feasibility.
- [Finite-capacity scheduling](https://planar.so/wiki/production/planning/finite-capacity-scheduling.md): Time-based production scheduling with resource calendars, reservations, precedence, materials and setup constraints; feasibility, lateness and release boundaries.
- [First-pass yield](https://planar.so/wiki/production/planning/first-pass-yield.md): Counting right-first-time output, separating recovery from first-pass success and reconciling multi-step production yields.
- [Infinite-capacity scheduling](https://planar.so/wiki/production/planning/infinite-capacity-scheduling.md): Use unconstrained dates to expose required production load, while keeping calendars, resource qualifications and executable capacity distinct.
- [Kanban replenishment](https://planar.so/wiki/production/planning/kanban-replenishment.md): Consumption signals, production and withdrawal loops, container sizing, lead-time boundaries and disciplined replenishment control.
- [Overall equipment effectiveness](https://planar.so/wiki/production/planning/overall-equipment-effectiveness.md): OEE calculation and interpretation: time boundaries, ideal cycles, first-pass quality, reconciled losses, aggregation and improvement decisions.
- [Part-in-part nesting](https://planar.so/wiki/production/planning/part-in-part-nesting.md): Using internal cutouts for additional parts while preserving toolpath clearance, support, quantities and material identity.
- [Process batches](https://planar.so/wiki/production/planning/process-batches.md): Separate quantities between setups from transfer quantities, equipment loads and traceability lots; reconcile setup effort, flow time and capacity.
- [Remnant valuation](https://planar.so/wiki/production/planning/remnant-valuation.md): Separate usable leftover stock, job-cost allocation, quoting rates and financial carrying value; reconcile remnant creation and reuse.
- [Reorder points](https://planar.so/wiki/production/planning/reorder-points.md): Replenishment triggers: lead-time demand, safety stock, inventory position, order quantity, review frequency and dated supply exceptions.
- [Rolled throughput yield](https://planar.so/wiki/production/planning/rolled-throughput-yield.md): Combining first-pass performance across a route while distinguishing conditional counts, modeled station products and observed unit histories.
- [Safety stock](https://planar.so/wiki/production/planning/safety-stock.md): Inventory protection against uncertainty: service definitions, protection periods, a bounded normal-demand example and replenishment-policy limits.
- [Takt time](https://planar.so/wiki/production/planning/takt-time.md): Demand-based production cadence, consistent available-time definitions, cycle-time comparisons and bounded line-balancing calculations.
- [Throughput time](https://planar.so/wiki/production/planning/throughput-time.md): Elapsed production flow time: boundaries, processing and waiting, calendar conventions, batch completion, WIP relationships and improvement measurement.
- [Transfer batches](https://planar.so/wiki/production/planning/transfer-batches.md): Separating move quantities from production lots, calculating overlap and preserving release, handling and scheduling constraints.
