SchedDSI - Meet the CXI Calculator

The Changeover Index (CXI) helps quantify schedule efficiency with a score between 0 and 1 — where 0 represents higher efficiency and 1 indicates significant room for improvement.

It gives your team a simple way to evaluate how much production efficiency may be left on the table before moving into deeper scheduling optimization.

The CXI workflow gives teams a practical first step into SchedDSI. Upload secure scheduling data, evaluate your current changeover burden, and begin identifying where better sequencing could unlock more capacity.

The Portal Where It All Starts

Using CXI is the first step toward improving production efficiency. Instead of beginning with a full scheduling overhaul, teams can start with a focused measurement of changeover impact using the schedule data they already have.

Key Features of the CXI Calculator

Simple starting point

Many scheduling systems become complicated too quickly. CXI begins with a basic core issue every company faces: identifying the part of your batch or job identifiers that creates the biggest production-floor changeover burden.

CXI upload workflow

Upload a simple CSV

Create a CSV of batch IDs, ship dates, and product types. Upload it and calculate an initial CXI based on your current schedule.

CXI results

Measure before and after

The calculator compares efficiency over time based on available work hours and the number of changeovers so teams can see how sequencing affects output.

The results speak clearly

By grouping like product types and respecting ship dates and constraints, schedules can often become significantly more efficient while opening more production capacity inside the same calendar window.

Real-Time Visibility. Real-World Results.

With SchedDSI, teams can imagine getting the best possible schedule every day or every shift, including configurable lock windows and efficient downstream shuffling that still respects constraints.

Get Started Your Way

  • After your initial CXI calculations, reach out for a FEED study and start the path toward a true production efficiency system.
  • If costs can be reduced, capacity can often be expanded with your current resources.
  • Start simply, then add more constraints and optimization ideas over time.
  • Go live in days, not months.
