Description
Schedule Forge is designed for production scheduling specifically tailored to small manufacturers. It enables the creation of work orders that incorporate multi-step routings and allows these orders to be scheduled against actual line capacity; users can easily drag and drop to make adjustments, causing all downstream tasks to automatically realign. Each job's deadline is tracked throughout its workflow, with late tasks highlighted, and connections between orders indicate how one job may impact another's timeline. Users can explore AI-driven what-if scenarios to evaluate the impact of a rush order or a production halt before finalizing decisions. On the production floor, operators can clock in and out using a PIN kiosk; progress is tracked through good and scrap counts, while routing steps include photos, links, and revision histories for better clarity. A customizable dashboard, along with a daily email summary, helps prioritize what requires immediate attention. Additionally, users can print purchase orders, monitor deadlines, invite team members with defined roles, log in using their Google accounts, and modify names for tasks, projects, lines, and work orders to align with their shop's terminology. The platform also supports REST API, webhooks, and integration with Airtable to enhance its functionality. With these features, Schedule Forge streamlines the scheduling process and improves overall operational efficiency for manufacturers.
Description
Just Plan It focuses on production scheduling tailored for high-mix, low-volume make-to-order environments. Through collaboration with numerous shops, we have discerned the key factors that contribute to their success. Despite effectively operating an ERP system, CIOvita conducted its production scheduling using custom Excel spreadsheets, which proved inadequate as the company expanded. This method resulted in significant drawbacks, including a lack of visibility and diminished agility. The environment became one of constant change and crisis management. Prior to adopting Just Plan It, Loynds depended on spreadsheets, paper lists, and extensive deliberation to determine delivery timelines and keep their engineering team informed with current work lists, as noted by Richard Loynds, the Managing Director at Loynds. The primary challenge stemmed from the absence of clarity regarding the shop floor's actual activities, compounded by swiftly evolving processes. This lack of visibility frequently led to missed delivery promises, jeopardizing customer relationships and trust. Ultimately, the transition to Just Plan It has provided the clarity and efficiency needed to improve operations significantly.
