# Alternative solutions

In addition to the recommended solution, there are other alternatives to choose from, which, depending on the current situation, can be adopted for production.

|  | Characteristics | Usage |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Balanced solution** | Best solution based on all key figure weights. | As a rule, |
| **Low waste** | Compromise of all key figures with a stronger weighting of waste. | With high-quality materials |
| **Short time** | Compromise of all key figures with a stronger weighting of time. | With a high order backlog |
| **Little waste + leftovers** | Compromise of all key figures with a stronger weighting of waste and residues. | With high-quality materials and low storage capacity |
| **Few leftovers** | Compromise of all key figures with a stronger weighting of the remainders. | With low storage capacity |
| **Optimized for handling** | Solution with little operator intervention (few recuts, few stacks) | For operators in the training phase |
| **Minimal waste** | Least waste solution | With very high-quality materials |
| **Minimum time** | Solution with the shortest production time | With a very high order backlog |
| **Minimal waste + leftovers** | Solution with the least waste and residues | With very high-quality materials and low storage capacity |

It is possible that a solution contains two alternatives. For example, you can produce both "the least waste" and "in the shortest possible time". In this case, only one solution is displayed.
