Mechanisms¶
- Event-Triggered Rescheduling Controller
- Its failure mode is instability — a controller tuned too hot re-solves on noise, and because each re-solve perturbs downstream commitments, the replanning itself becomes the disturbance, a self-feeding churn known in production scheduling as system nervousness
This sourceIdentifies production-scheduling nervousness as order instability in which changes at one level can disrupt downstream production levels.

- Rolling Forecast Resynchronization
- Its signature failure is forecast nervousness
This sourceDefines MRP nervousness as disruptive order instability in which changes in order timing at one level propagate to other levels.
- Its signature failure is forecast nervousness
Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. Neither this nor any other of the 2 citations of this work carries a recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
