Editorial draft available to read. Factual and language review is pending. Examples are illustrative.
Decision and scope
An overdue-order list should enable action rather than merely display delay. Define the committed date, actual state and completion rule; distinguish an overdue internal operation from a missed customer delivery. Include remaining quantity, owner and verified cause. Sorting only by overdue days can hide a critical order that is still recoverable.
Illustrative example
Illustrative example: one order is three days late but only awaiting collection; another is due today and production has not started. Separate dispatch and production groups with appropriate actions. Do not simply color both red or attribute transport waiting time to the manufacturing line.
Acceptance check
Test partial deliveries, cancellations and changed commitments. Retain the original and revised dates so changes remain explainable. Accept the view when every order has a next action, owner and supporting status evidence, and totals do not count already delivered quantities as outstanding production work.
Key takeaways
