Leading The Day: Benchmarking Production Scheduling & Priority Management Systems

🗓️ January 27, 2026 | 🕧 12:30–1:00 PM | 💻 Free Virtual Event (Registration Required)

Join ManufactureCT’s Special Interest Group (SIG) for a practical, 30-minute virtual session focused on production scheduling and priority management — the real-world systems that keep manufacturing operations running on time, even when disruptions hit.

This moderated panel will explore how three Connecticut manufacturers approach daily scheduling and communication, including:

✅ Whiteboard visual management

✅ Scrum-style standups via MS Teams

✅ ERP-driven schedule reviews

You’ll gain valuable insight into what typically triggers schedule changes, who makes the call, and how to adjust priorities without creating unnecessary churn.

Perfect for: Shop-floor managers, schedulers, and operations leads looking for peer-tested systems and simple, effective process improvements.

🔗 Registration is FREE but required to attend!
