Schedule production

Generate a proposed schedule across your resources, then accept or reject it.

The schedule places every operation on a resource over time. Workcell generates a proposed timeline for you to review; you decide whether to commit it. The screen is a Gantt chart of operations laid out by resource.

Read the schedule

  1. Go to Production > Schedule.
  2. The Gantt shows operations with their current scheduled start and end times, grouped by the resource that runs them.
  3. Toggle between all operations and committed (released work orders only) to focus the view.

Generate a proposal

  1. Select Run scheduler. Workcell computes a proposed start and end for each eligible operation and presents it as a proposal alongside summary metrics (such as overall makespan and lateness).
  2. The proposal does not change anything yet. Your committed timeline is untouched until you accept.
  3. Running the scheduler again supersedes the previous proposal.

Accept or reject

When a proposal is pending, two actions appear:

  • Accept proposed schedule commits the proposed start and end times to every operation and refreshes the timeline.
  • Reject discards the proposal. The committed timeline is left unchanged.
Run scheduler  ->  Proposal (pending)  ->  Accept  ->  times committed to operations
                                       \->  Reject  ->  previous schedule kept

How the scheduler decides the sequence is part of Workcell's engine and is not configurable from this screen; you work with the proposal it produces.
