Forge Plan

Finite Capacity Scheduling desktop app for production planners. Enter your resources, calendars, setup matrix, and orders — then compute a real, capacity-feasible schedule: a Gantt across every machine with makespan, tardiness, utilization, and setup KPIs, and every deadline violation flagged. Pin the assignments you’ve already decided and re-solve around them; save scenarios and compare. Core solving powered by the U-Schedule Rust engine. Fully offline.

Key Features

From order book to a feasible, comparable schedule — in one desktop tool.

Forge Plan — order data entry with Excel paste

Enter data — or paste from Excel

Resources, calendars, a setup/transition matrix, and orders all live in one place. Paste rows straight from Excel — the expected column order is shown inline — so a shop’s whole order book drops in at once.

Forge Plan — finite-capacity Gantt schedule with KPIs

Compute a finite-capacity schedule

Pick a dispatching rule — EDD, priority, and twelve more — and solve. You get a Gantt across every resource with the KPIs planners actually report: makespan, total and max tardiness, utilization, and setup time, with each deadline violation called out. Rules stay theory-traceable (EDD → Jackson, 1955).

Forge Plan — pinned assignments re-solved on the Gantt

Pin your decisions, then re-solve

Lock a critical assignment in place and recompute — everything else reschedules around it. The plan stays feasible while respecting the calls only a planner can make, not just what the rule would pick.

Forge Plan — worked scheduling templates gallery

Start from a worked template

Injection molding, job-shop machining, and assembly-cell examples come ready to solve — each grounded in scheduling literature (Pinedo). Change a rule, save it as a scenario, and compare KPIs side by side.
