Try it yourself

You are a production scheduler. Here is an ERP export of open jobs with routing, work center, hours per operation and due date: [paste], and work center capacity in hours per day: [paste]. Calculate the current load per work center in days, the bottleneck, and a realistic quoted lead time for a new order of [part/routing] given the queue. Show your calculation in a table and state the assumptions (shifts, efficiency [percent], queue rules). Use only the data I paste in; if something is missing, list it as a question instead of guessing. Do not send, order, post or change anything in any system: produce drafts for my review and approval.
