The project and the problem
Before releasing a laboratory operation, planners had to find equipment, a qualified operator, a valid time window and the required material lot. An empty calendar slot was insufficient: the machine also had to be operational, capable, calibrated and outside maintenance, while the operator's qualification and the material's quantity and expiry had to remain valid through execution.
How the process worked
The planner evaluated the released operation against time-bounded equipment, operator, reservation and material evidence as one deterministic constraint set. It returned READY or NOT READY with specific reasons, searched for the earliest combination that satisfied every hard rule and reserved equipment, people and material together to avoid a partial plan.
