# Golden Run

The Golden Run is the [production run](/en/model/production-orders-products.md) that achieved **the best combination of performance and quality**—meaning it was executed with the highest possible speed while keeping scrap to a minimum. In the ENLYZE app, the Golden Run is marked with a trophy icon:

## **Why is the Golden Run highlighted?**

With the help of the Co-Pilot, ideal production parameters can be communicated to the machine operator. In our view, the process parameters from the Golden Run represent the ideal settings to share, as they led to the most productive execution of the product.

## **Why are downtimes not considered when determining the Golden Run?**

The causes of downtimes during a production order are often unrelated to the process parameter settings or the specific order itself. Since the Golden Run serves as a guide for optimal parameter settings, downtimes are not taken into account.

## **Difference between Golden Run and Maximum Demonstrated Speed**

The *Maximum Demonstrated Speed (MDS)* identifies the production order with the highest achieved speed for a specific product on a specific machine—only the performance aspect is considered. More on MDS can be found under [Performance (Concepts)](/en/concepts/performance.md).

The *Golden Run*, on the other hand, identifies the order with the highest overall productivity for a specific product on a specific machine, based on a combination of performance and quality (i.e., the scrap rate).
