EDD
Production Planning
EDD (Earliest Due Date)
Earliest Due Date
Dispatching rule that gives highest priority to the job with the earliest due date.
Examples
- 01Using EDD at the paint line, the job due tomorrow runs before the job due next week, even though it requires a colour change.
- 02The planner checks the EDD sequence for orders that will be late whatever happens, and agrees new dates with sales instead of disrupting other jobs.
- 03In the daily meeting, EDD is the default rule, and exceptions are only made for customer escalations approved by the plant manager.
