Schedule Forge

# Schedule Forge **Production scheduling for small manufacturers. Plan every work order, run every line at real capacity, and start each day knowing exactly what needs attention.** Most small shops schedule in spreadsheets or someone's head. That works until a rush order lands or a machine goes down. Schedule Forge replaces the spreadsheet with a live, capacity-aware schedule your whole team can see and your shop floor can update in real time. ## Plan with real capacity - Build work orders with multi-step routings; the scheduler places every task against actual line capacity. - Drag and drop to adjust; downstream work reschedules automatically. - Late or should-have-started work is flagged, and deadlines roll through the whole chain. ## Ask "what if" before you commit - Simulate a rush order, a down line, or an extra shift with AI-powered scenarios and compare against today's plan before touching the real one. ## Connect the shop floor - Operators clock on and off jobs at a kiosk with a PIN. Good and scrap counts roll progress forward automatically. - Routing steps carry photos, links, and revision history, so the floor works from current instructions. ## Start every day from the dashboard - A customizable dashboard and daily email digest surface what's late, what's at risk, and what needs a decision today. - Print-ready purchase orders and needed-by tracking keep materials on time. ## Built for teams - Role-based seats, Google sign-in, and your own vocabulary for tasks, projects, lines, and work orders. - REST API, webhooks, and Zapier-ready integrations. Cloud-based and self-serve: sign up, add your lines and work orders, and have a working schedule the same day. No six-month ERP rollout.
