How to tie production to site dates

Production should follow phase dates: what the site can hang this week, not what is convenient to nest. Spectr connects project phases to shop scheduling so a GC date change can move the live queue.

Key facts

Yesterday’s printed queue is how last-trade shops miss a re-sequenced elevation.
Material not staged means “on the schedule” is a wish.
Finish dates have to move with install dates or you will air-freight painted metal.
Spectr’s shop dashboards are meant to show today’s priority from the same job the PM is watching.

How shops handle this

Publish one phase date
Site need is the constraint.
Schedule only issued cutlists
Unissued work on a CNC is how you cut the wrong revision.
Stage containers to that work
The forklift task should come from the schedule.
Let PMs look, not poll
If they still call the lead, the queue is not trusted.

Common questions

What about rush work?

Rushes should jump the queue in the system so everyone sees the cost to the other job.

Can we keep a whiteboard too?

As a backup for five minutes. Not as a second schedule.
