Put commitments in one view
Combine measures, internal work, delivery, installation, company events, time off, and closures in a shared calendar.
Schedule the shop around real work and visible capacity
See schedule conflicts and overloaded periods before they become a missed install date.
A date on a calendar is not a production plan
For PMs and production managers scheduling measures, shop work, delivery, and installation.
1
Sales promises a date without seeing the shop's load.
2
Production and installation calendars drift apart.
3
Work moves but downstream teams are updated manually.
4
Time off and closures compete invisibly with job commitments.
A date is useful only when the job is buildable.
Keep the schedule tied to the drawings, work orders, and people needed to do the work.
Plan, test, communicate, and adjust
See the load
Use forecasting and capacity views to understand where work is concentrated by date and department.
Move the plan
Adjust work as customer, material, or staffing conditions change while preserving the job context behind the date.
Compare plan and actual
Use recorded labor and completion data to make future scheduling assumptions less dependent on instinct.
See the load, the commitment, and the gap
A shared schedule becomes more useful when planned work and available department hours can be read together.
Questions shops ask us
What is the week board?+
The production plan: a backlog lane plus last week, this week and next week. Work orders are dragged into a week, each row shows how much of a department's supply it takes, and a week cannot be committed until the previous one is closed.
How are install dates planned?+
On the install planner, a crew calendar for install days. The calendar shows events and install phases; production work stays on the week board so the two never fight.
Where does capacity come from?+
From actual hours. Past days are what people clocked; future days use each department's configured supply. The board names the bottleneck department rather than guessing.
Is there a day-by-day schedule?+
As an optional capability: a detailed production schedule with a lane per machine or station. Most shops start with the weekly board.
What happens when an install moves?+
Move the install phase on the planner and the work orders keep their job. The week board then shows what is now late.
Does it schedule the CNC automatically?+
No. It is a planning board for people, not finite machine scheduling.
