Production scheduling by machine

One time line for the whole floor

Switch between a day, three days and a week. The red line shows the current time, and each block shows the job, its time and the person responsible.

Blocks are coloured by status: waiting, scheduled, in progress, done and delivered. An overdue job has a red frame.

Move and resize by dragging

Drag a block to another time or another machine. Drag its right edge to change the duration. Click an empty spot to create a job at that time.

• Snaps to 15 minutes
• Filter by machine or by worker
• Jobs without a time wait in a queue under the schedule

Conflicts before they happen

When you save a job, Taktcell checks the slot. It warns you, and still lets you save, if the job overlaps another job, falls into planned maintenance or a breakdown, or gives the same person two jobs at once.

If a job has a customer deadline and its planned end is later, you see that warning too.

Next free slot and queue packing

“Next free slot” finds the first gap on the machine for the job’s duration. On a machine’s page you can change the order of its queue and pack it back to back from now; jobs already in progress stay where they are.

Any hour of the day

There are no working-hour limits. You can plan night shifts, weekends and machines that run around the clock.

Pipeline and calendar

The pipeline shows the same jobs as cards in five columns: waiting, scheduled, in progress, done and delivered. The month calendar shows jobs, maintenance and customer deadlines, and a click on a day opens that day’s schedule.
