Branching
Explore another future without creating another truth.
A branch begins with the operational model. Then something changes. The branch can be run independently and compared with the baseline.
Then something changes
- Demand increases
- A machine is added
- A layout changes
- A customer is introduced
- Labor is reduced
- Automation is installed
- A process is redesigned
- A failure occurs
Branches can change
- Demand
- Layout
- Resources
- Labor
- Automation
- Process definitions
- Schedules
- Equipment
- Constraints
Branches answer
- What happens if we change this?
A possible future
A branch does not overwrite the live operation.
It is a possible future. A branch is a possible future derived from the same operational model.
Branches remain separate from live operation until explicitly promoted. A branch cannot silently become operational truth.
Promotion is explicit.
The branch lifecycle
- Model
- Branch
- Run
- Compare
- Decide
- Promote
- Campus
Promotion is an explicit human decision. A branch is a possibility until a person commits it.
One clock. One model. Many futures. One reality.
Model the operation. Rehearse the change. Connect it to reality.
