It replans while you watch.

Ask in plain words. The dashed outlines keep the plan you started with on screen, so every change is easy to see.

Work all of that in. Nothing else should ship late.

M-Mill-1 has room on Wednesday. I'll move the Thursday jobs off M-Mill-2 and fit 4490 in.

Each change arrives as a card you can read. 4471 moves to M-Mill-1 and now ships Thursday morning.

Moved WO-4471 Machin to M-Mill-1 Starts Wed 8:00 AM. Ships Thu 8:00 AM, due Thu 6:00 PM.

4483 starts earlier on M-Mill-2, so it's done before the repair crew arrives.

Pulled WO-4483 Machin in to Wed 10:00 AM Done Wed 10:00 PM, before the repair starts.

The rush order goes where it fits. All ten orders are on time, and you can see exactly which jobs moved.

Scheduled WO-4490 on S-Mill-1 Machin Wed 6:00 AM, Deburr Wed 1:00 PM. Due Wed 10:00 PM.

All 10 orders are on time, and M-Mill-2 is clear for Thursday.

You stay in control.

Every bar on the board is yours to move. Try it: drag a job to a new time, or to the other mill of the same size. UpgradeAI tells you what your change does to the rest of the week.

The board is yours. Drag any job and I'll tell you what it does to the rest of the week.

Wed 11:40 AM

Problems show up before the floor finds them.

Real run times come back from the floor and the plan moves with them. 4475 on S-Mill-1 is running long, so the jobs behind it slide.

Wed 11:40 AM
Anything at risk this week?

One check turns that into a short list: a rush order that will now ship late, and a job planned before its material arrives.

Checked the schedule 2 issues found.
WO-4490 will ship late 4475 is running long on S-Mill-1, so 4490 now finishes Thu 2:00 PM. Due Wed 10:00 PM.
WO-4466 has no material yet The supplier moved the bar stock to Thu 10:00 AM. Machining is planned Wed 2:00 PM.

UpgradeAI builds an alternative and puts both plans side by side, so you see the difference before you commit to it.

Alternative: run 4490 on S-Mill-2 from noon, then start 4466 once the bar stock is in. Both orders ship on time.

Apply it. Four jobs move, and both issues are gone.

Applied the alternative 4 jobs moved. No open issues.

Fri 9:40 PM

10 orders shipped. 0 late.

A pulled-in order, a machine down for a day, a rush job, a long run and a late delivery. Five changes in one week, handled in a few minutes each.

Fri 9:40 PM

All 10 orders shipped this week. None late.
