Eg. We want to decrease the production time of Hamburger Buns from 1 to 0, to make it available for next day delivery. 

There are 20 items in production for Thursday and 30 for Friday. There is no data in production for any future dates. 

You must delete the data for Friday, that is the latest date that there is production data for, as per point 1 above.
