Alternative solutions
In addition to the recommended solution, other alternatives are available. Depending on the current situation, these can be adopted for production.
| Characteristics | Usage | |
| Balanced solution | Best solution based on all key figure weights. | Regular case |
| Little waste | Compromise of all key figures with stronger weighting of waste. | With high-quality materials in use |
| Short time | Compromise of all key figures with stronger weighting of time. | With high order backlog |
| Little waste + Offcuts | Compromise from all key figures with stronger weighting of waste and offcuts. | For high-quality materials and low storage capacity |
| Little Offcuts | Compromise from all key figures with stronger weighting of the offcuts. | For low storage capacity |
| Optimized for handling | Solution with little operator intervention (few recuts, few stacks) | For operators in the teach-in phase |
| Minimal waste | Solution with the least waste | For very high quality materials |
| Minimum time | Solution with the shortest production time | With very high order backlog |
| Minimum waste + Offcuts | Solution with the least waste and offcuts | For very high-quality materials and low storage capacity |
It is possible that one solution contains two alternatives. This way you can, for example, produce the "least amount of waste" as well as "in the shortest possible time". In this case only one solution is displayed.
