# How to use Minimum Degree of Manufacturing

**Minimum Degree of Manufacturing helps you speed up production without cutting corners.**

In this video, you’ll learn how **SkyPlanner** allows the next step in production to start when the previous step is **partially complete**. For example, packaging can begin when assembly is just **10% done**—reducing wait times and making better use of your resources.

This smart feature helps minimize downtime and keeps your workflow moving efficiently.

Just remember: to use it properly, you need to set **teardown time to zero**.
