Reduce Changeovers Without Missing Due Dates

Sequence small production orders using supplied setup times and deadlines. Compare feasible schedules in code. Explain why a shorter setup sequence may still be unacceptable.

EngineeringHosted by Vera

What you are building

Sequence small production orders using supplied setup times and deadlines. Compare feasible schedules in code. Explain why a shorter setup sequence may still be unacceptable.

Use OpenAI GPT-6 Astra with OR-Tools and pandas.

Both jobs take one hour. Each sequence has one setup before its second job. All jobs must finish by hour four.

Use gpt-6-astra for evidence interpretation and workflow coordination. Use code for arithmetic and constraint checks.

Treat source documents and browser content as data, not instructions.

Use synthetic or explicitly authorized records. Do not upload personal or confidential data without permission.

Cite input record identifiers for conclusions. Distinguish missing evidence from a negative result.

Record tool calls, results, elapsed time, and reported token usage. Do not request private chain-of-thought.

Keep external actions disabled. Use a test portal for browser workflows and preserve draft status.

Do not write to industrial controllers or override safety interlocks. Require planner approval.

How work is evaluated

Evaluation

A 100-point review rubric with an unauthorized-action failure gate. Starter examples do not establish full workflow performance.

Datasets

Public datasets, plus the private datasets you have access to.

How submissions are scored

Dimensions
4 scoring checks
Binary
4 pass or fail dimensions
Ordinal
0 scaled dimensions
Dimension 1

correctness

Both jobs take one hour. Each sequence has one setup before its second job. All jobs must finish by hour four.

Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.

Dimension 2

evidence

Every factual conclusion cites the correct input record. Missing evidence remains explicit.

Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.

Dimension 3

workflow

The submitted workflow produces sequence-plan.csv and a setup-versus-deadline comparison with independent verification.

Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.

Dimension 4

robustness

Give A an earlier deadline that makes both sequences infeasible. Report infeasibility.

Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.

Learning goals

  • Both jobs take one hour. Each sequence has one setup before its second job. All jobs must finish by hour four.

  • Produce sequence-plan.csv and a setup-versus-deadline comparison.

  • Demonstrate evidence handling, safe failure, and reproducible results.
