Capacity Allocation
Production capacity is short, and every order thinks it's first.
The decision
Demand exceeds what the line can produce this period. Three orders compete for the same constrained capacity — one strategic, one high-margin, one at risk of penalty. Who gets made first?
Why it's hard today
Sequence wrong and you breach an SLA, leave margin idle, or burn a strategic account. The right order depends on penalties, margin, and strategic weight — which live in different systems and different heads.
Your scheduler sequences by due date or rule; it doesn't weigh the penalty clause, the margin, and the account's strategic value against each other. It produces a schedule, not a trade-off decision.
What AgentForgeOS does
It assembles the picture you can't see, and makes the call under your rules.
Sequence to avoid the penalty and protect the strategic account, fitting the high-margin order where changeover allows — under your capacity policy.
- Available capacity and constraints
- Order due dates and penalties
- Margin by order
- Account strategic weight
- Changeover costs
- Penalty-avoidance rules
- Strategic-account priority
- Changeover-cost limits
- Due-date constraints
⚠ Capacity 0.7× demand — line 2, three orders competing
Evidence assembled
- Order A: tier-A account, mid-margin
- Order B: high-margin, flexible date
- Order C: penalty at +2 days
- Changeover between A and C is costly
Recommendation · sequence C, A, B to avoid penalty and protect tier-A
Policy: penalty avoided · tier-A protected · changeover within limit · awaiting scheduler
What improves
- Penalties avoided
- Margin and strategic value protected
- Less idle capacity
Each sequencing call and its result is kept, so the model learns this line's real changeover and throughput behavior, improving with use.
Underneath, this is the same operating model the rest of the platform runs: verified context is assembled, options are weighed and adversarially challenged, the decision is governed by your policy, and the outcome is learned. The decision changes from one of these to the next. The architecture does not.
