Production planning
WispTrack turns active orders into a workable weekly schedule: how much work is left on each operation, who can do it, on which machine, and on which day — based on the calendar, availability, and skills of your team.
The problem
Planning in spreadsheets and on a whiteboard looks tidy until it meets reality: absences, machines already in use, uneven skills, and orders that get reshuffled every week.
The solution
The WispTrack planning module builds on the real data already in the system — orders, BOM operations, progress, employees, and machines — and turns it into a concrete plan of who works on what.
See which orders are plannable within a chosen horizon and exactly how much work is left on each production operation.
The schedule respects the working calendar, people's availability, and who is able to perform which operation.
The system proposes a distribution of work across days, employees, and machines, which you review and adjust before publishing.
Who it helps
Each week, turn active orders into a concrete plan of who works on what, instead of starting from a blank spreadsheet.
See where demand exceeds available capacity and decide in time: resequence, add a shift, or talk to the customer.
When a rush order lands or someone is off, adjust the schedule against current data instead of rebuilding the plan by hand.
Overload on the production floor rarely arrives suddenly. Here is how capacity planning helps you see the limits in time.
Planning sits at the heart of every manufacturing operation, but small everyday mistakes often lead to chaos, delays, and lost control.
Bottlenecks are often the hidden cause of production delays. Here is how to find them in time, before they start affecting the whole flow.
Small everyday delays rarely look like a problem, but over time they lead to chaos, tension, and missed deadlines.
Time is rarely lost in one place — it is lost in small pieces throughout the day. How small delays accumulate, and how clear information changes the process.
Control on the production floor does not mean more checking. It means clear, timely visibility over the process — and decisions made on it.
Questions and answers
It is the allocation of the work that actually remains across days, people, and machines for a near-term period — usually a week — so that order deadlines are achievable.
From the working calendar, each employee's availability by day, their absences, and the skills matrix showing who performs which operation and at what efficiency.
Yes. A generated schedule is a draft — you review it, move whatever needs moving, and only then publish it to the team.
