Live Scenario
Monitor and manage the active production schedule in real time.
The Live Scenario is the single active scenario whose orders are synchronised with TilliT Digital Operations for execution. It provides real-time visibility into production progress, enabling schedulers to monitor and adjust the schedule as conditions change.
Navigation
The Live Scenario can be accessed in two ways, each providing a different level of interaction:
Sidebar
Scheduler > Live
Read-only
Presentations, monitoring, a simpler view of the current schedule
Scenario board
Scheduler > Scenario > open the Live scenario
Editable
Adding orders, enabling Auto Shift, editing allocations, and all other scheduling actions
To make changes to the Live Scenario — such as adding new orders, enabling Auto Shift, or editing allocations — you must open it from the Scenario Kanban board, not from the sidebar.
Overview
The Live Scenario view shows the scheduling Gantt chart with all currently active and upcoming orders. From here you can:
Monitor order progress in real time
Add new orders directly to the live scenario
View order details and execution status
Manage downtime allocations
Compare scheduled vs actual performance
Adding Orders on the Live Scenario
You can add new orders directly to the Live Scenario. Click the + button at the top of the scheduler to open the Orders Store, select orders, and add them to the schedule.
Only orders that have not been previously added to the scenario are visible in the Orders Store.
Order Allocations
Order Tooltip — Verbose Mode
Hovering over a scheduled order displays a tooltip with the following information:
Quantity
Target production quantity
Order Attributes
Order attributes (visible when Digital Operations integration is active)
Start Time
Scheduled start time
End Time
Scheduled end time
Estimated Duration
Expected duration based on current calculations
Original Duration
Originally scheduled duration
Notes
Any notes attached to the order
When Compact Mode is enabled, tooltips show only order number, operation, start and end times
Progress Visual Indicators
Scheduled orders on the Gantt chart display colour-coded progress bars:
Light green bar
Actual progress — shows real completion percentage
Dark green bar
Target progress — where production should be based on the scheduled or default run rate. Hidden when target quantity or run rate are not configured
Yellow tail
Delay indicator — shows the gap between the estimated duration and the actual duration of the order
Example 1 where there are delays and no target rate:
Example 2 where the actual running rate is behind the target rate:
Allocation Popper
This is only available in editable Live Scenario mode.
Click on a scheduled order to open the Allocation Popper, which provides detailed information across two tabs.
Info Tab — Regular Allocations
Due Date
The order's required completion date
Earliest Start
Earliest the order can begin
Duration
Scheduled length (hh:mm), with efficiency factor percentage shown
Estimated Duration
Expected duration if it differs from the scheduled duration
Equipment
Assigned machines and resources
Personnel
Assigned people
Order Properties
Custom key-value attributes on the order (e.g. COLOR, SIZE)
Notes
Editable free-text note on the allocation
Info Tab — Changeover Allocations
For changeover operations between two orders, the Info tab shows:
Duration
Changeover length
Equipment / Personnel
Assigned resources
Operation
Transition shown as "from operation → to operation"
Order
Transition shown as "from order → to order"
Material Properties
Before and after values for any properties that changed. Changed values are shown in bold
Execution Tab
The Execution tab tracks actual vs scheduled performance:
Start / End Time
Actual recorded start and end times (editable)
Progress
Completion amount shown as quantity units
Status
Current state: In Progress, Paused, or Complete
Performance Run Rate
Actual throughput (units/hour) derived from real execution data
Scheduled Run Rate
Planned throughput (units/hour) from the scheduling configuration
Delayed By
How much the actual duration exceeded the expected duration (hh:mm)
Estimated Duration Calculation
The system calculates the estimated duration for an order using:
Fixed Base Time
Non-throughput time built into the segment (e.g. setup or changeover)
Quantity to Produce
Total units multiplied by the percentage of work remaining
Throughput Rate
Units per second the resource can produce, from the operation's throughput configuration
Number of Assignments
More people assigned means the duration divides down proportionally
If an efficiency factor is set on the order, the result is further divided by it. A lower efficiency value (e.g. 0.5 = 50%) increases the duration, while a higher value (e.g. 1.25 = 125%) shortens it.
