Stop Losing $100K/Year to Manual Scheduling
Visual drag-and-drop production scheduling with multi-step routing for manufacturing shops with 5-50 machines. Replace your whiteboard with conflict detection, routing templates, and utilization tracking — in minutes, not months.
Manual Scheduling Is Costing Your Shop
Spreadsheets, whiteboards, and tribal knowledge create expensive blind spots that compound every day.
Double-Bookings Cost You $300-$600 Each
Shop floor managers maintain spreadsheets or whiteboards, manually checking for conflicts. A typical 10-machine shop experiences 2-4 double-bookings per week — $30,000-$125,000 in annual lost capacity.
Multi-Step Routing Is Invisible
Most parts touch 2-4 machines in sequence. Paper travelers and tribal knowledge mean when one operation slips, downstream operations pile up invisibly. A missed routing step can scrap $1,000-$10,000+ in parts.
Zero Visibility Into Utilization
Utilization is estimated by gut feel. Without data, shops can't identify underutilized machines, justify $50K-$500K equipment purchases, or optimize shifts. A 5% improvement recovers $15,000/year per machine.
From Signup to Scheduled in Under 30 Minutes
No implementation consultants. No months of onboarding. Add your machines, define your routings, and start scheduling.
Add Your Machines
Set up your shop floor in minutes. Add machines, organize into work centers like 'CNC Mills' or 'Lathes,' and define shifts and operating hours. CSV import for shops with 10+ machines.
Create Routing Templates
Define reusable operation sequences — Op 10: Mill, Op 20: Lathe, Op 30: Grind, Op 40: Inspect. Apply templates to jobs with a single click. Your tribal knowledge, codified.
Schedule on the Gantt
Drag and drop operations onto machines. See connector lines between routing steps. Get instant conflict warnings. Track utilization in real time. Time-to-first-value: under 30 minutes.
Scheduling Intelligence, Purpose-Built
Everything a shop floor manager needs to eliminate double-bookings, enforce routing, and track utilization — nothing they don't.
Multi-Step Routing — The Feature Nobody Else Has
Most manufactured parts touch 2-4 machines in sequence. Spreadsheets can't track it. Generic project tools don't understand it. Enterprise MES makes it needlessly complex. MachineScheduler makes multi-step routing visual, enforceable, and reusable — with routing templates you define once and apply to every job.
Drag-and-Drop Gantt Chart
Machines on the Y-axis, time on the X-axis. The scheduling view that replaces your whiteboard — with zoom from hourly to monthly, pan, scroll, and search.
Real-Time Conflict Detection
When two jobs compete for the same machine at the same time, both blocks highlight red instantly. Warnings by default — your judgment, but with visibility.
Multi-Step Routing Templates
Define ordered operation sequences and reuse them across jobs. Each operation gets its own machine and time slot. Connected via directional lines on the Gantt.
Sequence Enforcement
Configurable warnings or hard blocks when operations are scheduled out of order. Prevents quality escapes — parts won't skip inspection again.
Utilization Dashboards
Scheduled vs. available time per machine and work center. Know exactly which machines are at capacity and which sit idle — data for equipment purchase decisions.
Operation-Level Status Tracking
Queued, In-Progress, Complete per operation. Job status auto-derives from operations. A job is only 'Complete' when every operation is finished.
Purpose-Built for Manufacturing
Not a project management tool pretending to schedule machines. Built for the people who run shop floors every day.
Shop Floor Managers
You hold the entire schedule in your head. Vacations, sick days, and turnover create chaos. MachineScheduler becomes your system of record — accessible from any browser.
Owner / Operators
You make purchasing decisions and manage the floor. At $249/month — less than one hour of machine idle time — the ROI case is immediate and concrete.
Production Supervisors
You manage scheduling full-time but lack dedicated tooling. 50 routing templates, configurable enforcement, and advanced reporting at the Professional tier.
Operations Managers
Oversee 2-3 shop floors. Define routing templates once, deploy across facilities. Consolidated utilization reporting to see capacity across locations.
Less Than One Hour of Machine Idle Time
No free tier. No complexity. 14-day free trial on every plan. Cancel anytime.
