The Problem

Excel and Whiteboards Are Costing Your Shop

Shared spreadsheets collapse when rush orders arrive. No conflict detection, no real-time updates, no visibility.

!

Rush Orders Collapse Your Schedule

When a rush order arrives, replanning 20+ jobs across multiple machines takes 90 minutes in Excel. By the time you reprint operator sheets and walk to the floor, another rush comes in. You spend 15-20 hours weekly on scheduling overhead.

90 minto replan each rush

Shift Handoffs Break Down

Night shift supervisors call at 11 PM asking which jobs to prioritize. Verbal communication and outdated printed schedules mean critical information gets lost between shifts, causing rework and missed deadlines.

Zero Visibility Beyond This Week

Capacity beyond the current week is a black hole. Without data, you can't identify bottlenecks, justify equipment purchases, or optimize shifts. Gut-feel scheduling leaves 10-20% of machine capacity on the table.

20%capacity left unused
For a typical shop, manual scheduling wastes 15-20 hours per week in planning overhead alone. MachineScheduler.com cuts that to under 2 hours.
How It Works

From Signup to Scheduled in Under 30 Minutes

No implementation consultants. No months of onboarding. Add your machines, import your jobs, and start scheduling.

01
1

Add Machines & Operators

Set up your shop floor in minutes. Add machines, organize into work centers, define shifts, and add operators with their certifications and skill levels. CSV import for larger shops.

02
2

Import Jobs & Routings

Upload jobs via CSV or quick-create. Define routing templates that capture your operation sequences — Op 10: Mill, Op 20: Lathe, Op 30: Inspect. Apply templates with one click.

Schedule & Share

Drag operations onto machines on the visual Gantt. Get instant conflict warnings. Share mobile operator views with your team — no logins required. Time-to-first-value: under 30 minutes.

Features

Scheduling Intelligence, Purpose-Built

Everything a shop floor manager needs to eliminate double-bookings, manage operators and shifts, and track utilization — nothing they don't.

Core Differentiator

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.com makes multi-step routing visual, enforceable, and reusable — with routing templates you define once and apply to every job.

Define ordered operation sequences: Mill, Lathe, Grind, Inspect
Each operation independently schedulable on the Gantt chart
Connector lines show workflow across machines
Sequence enforcement catches out-of-order scheduling

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.

S

Multi-Shift Scheduling

Define Day, Swing, and Night shifts with configurable hours. View 24-hour continuous timelines, manage shift handoffs, and track operator availability across all shifts.

O

Operator Management

Track machine certifications, skill levels, and shift assignments. Match operators to jobs based on qualifications. Know who can run what — without phone calls.

M

Mobile Operator Views

Operators see their job queue on any device. Tap to start, tap to complete — timestamps captured automatically. Real-time updates flow back to the schedule.

%

OEE Analytics & Reporting

Utilization dashboards, bottleneck analysis, and OEE metrics. Export branded PDFs for management. Data for equipment purchase decisions — not gut feelings.
