Production planning and delivery coordination
How an order moves from approved submittal to a delivered bundle: the planning terms and the AFS shop queue, piece limits, weight and storage rules, backward scheduling with the next-business-day booking, and the checks that catch late, wrong or damaged deliveries.

Production planning and delivery coordination: principles and terminology
The path from approved submittal to delivered bundle, the planning terms used on it, how the AFS shop queue orders work, and the safety boundary this module keeps.
You will be able to: Name the steps an order passes through, define release, lead time, constraint, queue, float and critical path, explain the six-week look-ahead and make-ready, and state where planning stops and rigging or securement decisions begin.

Production planning and delivery coordination: materials, standards and design constraints
The AFS piece length, girth and thickness limits that decide how an order ships, weight worked from the material register, OSHA storage rules, wet storage stain on zinc-coated stacks, and who owns lifting and transport.
You will be able to: List the constraints that move a delivery date, read the AFS piece length, girth and thickness limits, estimate piece and bundle weight from the material register, and apply storage rules at the laydown.

Production planning and delivery coordination: methods and worked application
A backward schedule worked from the install date, the AFS next-business-day booking rule with its weekend and time-zone traps, the four delivery windows, bundle sequencing by area and what the customer is told.
You will be able to: Build a backward schedule from an install date, apply the AFS next-business-day delivery rule on the shop clock, choose a delivery window, sequence and label bundles by install area, and tell the customer what was booked.

Production planning and delivery coordination: defects, verification and case study
Six ways a delivery goes wrong and the check that catches each, the pre-ship and receipt checks, two hypothetical cases, percent plan complete as a measure, and the record that closes a defect.
You will be able to: Diagnose late, early, wrong, damaged and undocumented deliveries, verify an order before it ships and again at receipt, and write the correction and the lesson learned.

Practical task
Produce a documented job packet for an exercise order of 60 pieces of 24 ga galvanized flashing in three bundles: schedule it backward from a given install start, book its delivery, estimate its weight, plan its laydown, list the checks before shipping and at receipt, and analyse one injected defect.
Hand in
- A backward schedule for a crew that starts on Monday of week 6 (queue wait 4 business days, then 3 days of forming with the checks counted inside it, the job marked finished when forming ends; exercise numbers, not AFS lead times, and different from the worked example on purpose) showing the delivery day, the finish day and the release day
- A delivery booking: the window chosen and why, the shop-clock date for a finish on a Friday and on a Tuesday evening, and the questions to settle with the site about laydown, access and who receives
- A weight estimate with units: one piece and one bundle from the register weight, labelled as a nominal estimate, with the standard piece length and the maximum length not confused
- A marked-up sketch of the laydown showing the stack secured, off the ground, spaced, sloped, covered with open ends, and the aisle clear
- A quality checklist for before shipping and at receipt, and a defect analysis of one injected fault (a wrong length, a missed Friday-to-Monday booking or a wet stack): what was found, the rule it breaks with its source, the correction and the evidence
Rubric
| Criterion | Meets the standard when |
|---|---|
| Backward schedule | The delivery is the business day before the install, the finish is the business day before the delivery, and each step is subtracted in order to a release day. |
| Booking rule | A Friday, Saturday or Sunday finish is booked for Monday, the date is worked out on the shop clock, and holidays are noted as changed by hand. |
| Weight and units | Area is worked in square feet and weight in pounds from the register value, labelled nominal, and the standard 10 ft piece is not confused with the 126 in maximum. |
| Laydown | The sketch shows spacers, a slope, supports off the ground, a vented cover and a clear aisle, and the packet cites OSHA 1926.250 for secured stacks and clear aisles. |
| Checks | The pre-ship and receipt checklists cover count, length, material and gauge, finish, labels, damage and a signed receipt with a name. |
| Defect analysis | The defect is documented with evidence, the rule or order it breaks, the correction and how it was verified. |
| Safety boundary | The packet leaves rigging, crane picks and tiedown design to the rigger and the carrier and cites OSHA 1926.251 and 49 CFR 393.106 only as where to look. |
