One constrained stream
The queue models jobs sequentially from now. Use it for one press, finishing line or other constrained stage, not as a hidden multi-machine scheduler.
MULTI-JOB QUEUE
See the collision
before the deadline.
Build a simple constrained production queue from job duration, due time and priority. Compare sequencing strategies and expose which jobs become late instead of relying on a list that hides downstream consequences.

A sequence can expose lateness without pretending one machine is an entire factory.
Priority has a cost
Moving a critical job forward can make another job late. Switching sequence strategies makes that trade-off visible instead of burying it in a manual list.
Duration must include reality
Use Capacity Planner to estimate the hours first. Queue Planner schedules the entered duration; it does not rediscover setup, utilization or changeover losses.
