ABSTRACT:
A computer implemented method is used for determining a product build schedule for sequential fabrication steps. The computer implemented method comprises: receiving a routing of the sequential fabrication steps; assigning a raw process time to a fabrication step in the routing; generating a cycle time for the fabrication step; receiving a start date for the sequential fabrication steps; and computing a projected shipping date for the product.
