Is it possible that we get a "real" queue? Currently the item in
production is special. There is no reason for this except maybe
historical roots. This change would be GUI/client only. The server can
still think in the current schema (current production + queue). But I
have the feeling that the convsersion of the server will also enable
us to make the code simpler.

So I would change the Production info in the Overview page to a
read-only list. It is enough if it only shows the tree top-most
entries. Name and time is enough for these entries.

In the Production page the Change button will go and also the info at
the top.

Also related to this: can we move the Buy button to the overview page?
