The schedule
Order the work on each machine and see what is late or over capacity.
Updated 23 September 2026
- Why
- A lead time is only honest when it comes from what each machine can actually do.
- What
- The schedule is a day or a week board with a lane per machine and each open job as a block sized by setup plus standard minutes.
- How
- Put the jobs in the order you want; the board works out where each one ends against the machine's available minutes.
Reorder the work
- Step 1.
Open
/app/machinist/scheduleand pick Day or Week. - Step 2.
Drag a block within its lane, or use Move up the queue and Move down the queue.
- Step 3.
To change machine, drag the block onto another lane or use Move to a machine.
Jobs with no machine sit in the No machine column. They are listed, not planned, until you move them onto one.
What the board tells you
| Marker | Means |
|---|---|
| Late | Planned to finish after the job is due |
| Over capacity | More planned minutes than the machine's available minutes |
| Not known | The machine module gave no estimate, so the block adds nothing to the load |
| ends 1h 55m into the day, for example | How far into the working day the job ends. Not a clock time: nothing records when your day starts |
A machine with no Available minutes a day plans nothing; set it on Machines.
The board is the order you set. Nothing reorders it on its own: there is no solver and no AI, and the same jobs always give the same board. Moving a job onto a machine its operator is not certified for is refused.
