Table 4.1.: Order Load Factory

Because this is a priority schedule, run and finishing times in this example are ONLY estimated times on the constraint and only serve to give an indication, when the raw materials should be issued. Suppose we use a buffer time of 1 day.

When should in this case the material be issued?
