01The Problem

Today’s workflow is the bottleneck.

Tuesday, 10:47 a.m. A shift lead is three hours into a schedule that was locked at sunrise, and the line has already drifted. Two operators called out, a downstream station is running hot, and the pre-shift plan — built on last week's averages — no longer reflects the floor. The lead reshuffles headcount from memory, calls it in, and hopes the move doesn't blow the day's target. By the time the productivity report lands, the window to actually hit the number has closed.

02The Approach

How Decide handles it.

Decide doesn't hand your supervisors another staffing dashboard. It anticipates bottlenecks before they compound and turns every reallocation into an interactive recommendation the lead can pressure-test in seconds — covering both pre-shift planning and in-shift moves. Each proposed reassignment comes back with productivity metrics and an explicit read on whether the shift still hits its targets in the time remaining. Supervisors see the trade-off — throughput, coverage, time-to-target — quantified before they commit, so the decision on the floor is validated rather than guessed.
