Rush orders

An urgent order arrives while the factory is busy and must overtake the queue.

Built in A field or setting does it directly.

How

Add it to the order list with the time it arrives (release_s), its due time and a priority above the others:

{ "product_id": "bracket", "quantity": 5, "release_s": 14400, "due_s": 21600, "priority": 10 }

Machines take waiting jobs of a higher priority first. A product can also carry a standing dispatch_priority (a hot lot). A started job is not interrupted.

Check

Forty brackets are in work when five rush brackets arrive at 4 h, due 2 h later. They overtake the queue and are on time, and the forty still finish by their own due time.
