About

Determining a sequence of jobs on each resource that does not violate any constraints can take hours of intense, frustrating work. Even with lots of scheduling experience, the end result is still far from optimal. Constantly changing pressures, shifting priorities, last minute requests from key customers, material availability problems, or machine breakdowns can suddenly render all those hours and hours spent creating a workable schedule into wasted time. With substantial capital invested in expensive manufacturing equipment, why not use it as effectively and efficiently as possible? The Arkieva Finite Scheduler is designed from the ground up to support the needs of the modern supply chain. Scheduling and distribution functions are integrated in the production-planning software, making the entire production-distribution chain visible to the end user; from shop floor to shipment schedule.

About

Machestra is production scheduling and shop floor management for small manufacturers running 3 to 30 machines. It replaces the spreadsheet, the whiteboard and the shared calendar with one place to see machines, people, materials and schedules. It does four things and deliberately nothing else. Jobs break into operations, and each operation gets its own machine, operator and time window, so you can follow a part through turning, milling and inspection instead of guessing where it is. The scheduling board shows what every machine is committed to and refuses to let you book the same one twice. Every operation records its actual start and finish against the times you planned, so your lead time estimates get sharper with each job. Pricing is flat by machine count with no per-user fees, so putting the whole crew on it costs nothing extra. Starter is $19/month, Growth is $79/month, both adjusted for local purchasing power. Free for up to 3 machines, no card, no time limit.
