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.
