Certified Industrial FDE · Planning and scheduling
You already know which plan will not survive Tuesday.
The schedule is optimal on Monday morning and fiction by Tuesday lunchtime. Optimisers assume changeover times that no longer hold and availability that nobody promised, so the planner rebuilds it by hand, again.

The scarce half you already have
You know the real changeover matrix, not the one in the system, and which sequence the operators will quietly reorder. Encoding that is worth more than a better solver.
What your project would be
A model that learns real changeover or cycle times from history and feeds them into the plan, so the schedule starts from what the plant actually does.
One programme, not fifteen
This is the same Certified Industrial FDE certification, argued from the problems of your department. Same cohort, same price, same assigned senior engineer, same public credential. What changes is the project you bring.
Questions from this area
Do I need an APS system?
No, and this is not a project to buy one. Improving the parameters your current plan runs on usually returns more than replacing the tool.
My constraints change every quarter.
Then the deliverable is a model that re-learns, and module 4 is about validating exactly that kind of drift.
Three questions, then a decision.
