No Mix:

2. Each room or section will be assigned a single dye lot to maintain color consistency.
   
3. If a dye lot runs out, a new dye lot will be assigned to a different section, but never mixed within the same section.
   

Sequential: 

1. The system assigns dye lots one at a time in a sequential manner.
   
2. This means one dye lot will be used until it is exhausted, and only then will the system start using the next available dye lot.

Mix:

1. The system allows multiple dye lots to be mixed freely within the same room or section.
   
2. This option is useful when color variation is not a concern or when maximizing material efficiency is a higher priority than maintaining uniform dye lot consistency.
