What's the difference between static and dynamic production scheduling?

Static scheduling creates a fixed plan and holds it until it breaks. Someone has to intervene manually to rebuild or patch it. Dynamic production scheduling continuously adjusts as conditions change, so when a machine goes down or a new order arrives, the system proposes an updated sequence without waiting for the next planning cycle. In high-mix environments with frequent disruptions, this difference directly affects how much time planners spend firefighting versus managing exceptions proactively.
