COROL Progress: planning and cut-order execution alignment
This update covers planning functionality in COROL, with focus on connecting planning intent to real production execution under changing constraints.
What we are solving
Cut-order plans lose value when reality changes faster than systems can absorb: material exceptions, quality holds, sequence changes, and priority shifts. COROL development targets this gap through stronger planning-to-floor feedback and better exception pathways.
Progress areas
- Order-to-execution visibility: improved tracking from planned sequence to actual state.
- Constraint-aware handling: clearer support for reprioritization under operational limits.
- Exception pathways: faster and more structured handling when plans break.
Why this is important for competitiveness
Stanford's AI Index shows rapid acceleration in organizational AI adoption and deployment economics. As decision support becomes cheaper and more widespread, planning systems are expected to react faster, with clearer rationale and traceability. COROL's planning direction is aligned with that expectation in corrugated operations.
Execution KPIs to monitor
- Schedule adherence after release
- Time to resolve planning exceptions
- Frequency of manual plan overrides
- Order completion predictability
Roadmap direction
Next steps continue toward tighter sequencing support, clearer exception governance, and stronger ERP synchronization for enterprise-level consistency.
