How It Works

Auto-scheduling uses production resource availability, operator shifts, dependency order, lunch breaks, and your configured board slot size. Existing scheduled work is preserved.

Board display preferences save per user. Auto-scheduling and warning rules save for the organization.

Promise date recommendations reuse those same calendars and resource assumptions, then add backlog, product buffers, holiday closures, rush load, and material-delay fallbacks.
