What weekly planning looks like with WispTrack

Every week, a production floor answers the same question: who is working on what over the coming days?
In most companies that answer is born in Excel, on a whiteboard, or in one person's head. And it breaks by Wednesday — an absence, a rush order, a machine already in use.
The plan does not start from a blank page
In WispTrack, the weekly schedule builds on data the system already holds:
- which orders are waiting, and at what priority
- how much work actually remains on each operation
- who on the team can do what, and when they are available
- which machines are needed for which step
The steps, briefly
1. Order queue
You pick a period and see every order eligible for planning — by due date, customer, and priority.
2. Remaining work
The system shows how many units are left on each operation in the BOM routing, accounting for what has already been reported on work tickets.
3. Generating the schedule
WispTrack proposes an allocation by day, employee, and machine — based on the working calendar, absences, and the skills matrix.
4. Review and publish
The generated schedule is a draft. You move whatever needs moving and publish it to the team when you are ready.
The result
A plan built on real capacity rather than gut feel. And one that can be adjusted in minutes when the week takes a different turn.
