What is Blue Yonder Order Sequencing?

Order Sequencing defines the order in which production or fulfillment tasks are executed to maximize reliability and efficiency. In production, scheduling software determines the sequence and timing of tasks to best use available resources and meet delivery deadlines. It considers material availability, ship dates, and constraints such as allergens, packaging, or sequencing plans. It allocates work to specific work centers and times, minimizing idle time, reducing work-in-progress inventory, and ensuring production stability. Consistent sequencing helps manufacturers and fulfillment centers meet service targets while coping with changes in demand and capacity.
