Unnatural
Keep arranging the production schedule. Keep going indicates continuation of the current task, and you don't usually say anything after it. Verbs cannot be used to modify nouns directly, and in this case, since you are referring to the schedule of the act of producing, use the noun form. In general "You can" sounds a little awkward when used to indicate permission (unless it is a response to a question; a simple "you can" is sufficient then)
