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. 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. Simulate a rush order, a down line, or an extra shift with AI-powered scenarios.
This system was born out of pure frustration with the status quo in manufacturing software. Throughout my career, I saw a recurring pattern. Companies would invest heavily in bloated ERP systems, find the scheduling constraints far too brittle, and eventually retreat back to basic spreadsheets. Building workarounds in software not designed for scheduling became my daily reality. That experience inspired me to step back and build a proper solution. I created this platform to give the average shop a tool that actually understands their workflow and simplifies their day, rather than adding unnecessary complexity.
