A customer call at 2pm becomes a Gantt at 2:00:30.

Open the order, tap Draft schedule, and Alan proposes the whole week across your operators. You review the Gantt and tap Accept.

The new way

How this works in the future of MRP.

In a legacy system, scheduling one new order means defining routings, opening the calendar, and dragging bars across screens before a single part gets made. In TuringDock you tap Draft schedule on the order and Alan lays out the week across your operators, so the Gantt is just the receipt of decisions you already made.

How it works

Draft the whole week in one tap

Tap Draft schedule, or just ask Alan to build something, and he walks the BOM, makes a task per item, and slots each one onto whoever has the lightest load. Suggestions show as dashed bars in that person’s row; click one to lock it in.

A batch of 100 schedules longer than a batch of 1

Each made item carries a setup time per run and a run time per unit, so the schedule scales with the order: a batch of 100 books setup plus 100 times the run rate, not a flat guess that makes 1 and 100 look the same. You set a rough rate to start, then Alan learns the real per-unit time from your finished builds and re-times the board, so the estimates sharpen the more you run.

Status from the bench, not the laptop

Operators hit Start and Mark done on each task, and stock posts against the BOM snapshot from when it was scheduled.

Drag a bar to move it or hand it off

Drag a bar in time and Alan shows the cascade first: which tasks and customer orders slip, and by how many days, before you commit. Drag it onto another person’s row to reassign the work, or onto Unassigned to free it up.

The Gantt is where you go to look, not where you live

You work on the canvas drafting orders and POs. The schedule materializes from those actions for you to glance at.

Common questions

What is AI-first production scheduling?
It means you don’t drag bars to plan production. You tap Draft schedule on a customer order and Alan walks the BOM, builds the tasks, and sequences them across your operators for you to review and accept.
Does TuringDock's Gantt support drag-to-reschedule?
Yes, with cascade analysis. Drag a bar in time and Alan shows which downstream tasks and customer orders slip and by how many days before you commit. Accept to write the move, or cancel and the bar snaps back. Drag a bar onto another person's row instead and it reassigns to them.
How does TuringDock estimate how long a build takes?
Each made item has a setup time per run and a run time per unit, so a build of 100 schedules as setup plus 100 times the run rate, not the same length as a build of 1. You set a rough rate to start, and on the premium tier Alan learns the real per-unit time from your completed builds and re-times the schedule.
How does TuringDock handle operator capacity?
You invite teammates as operators in Settings, Team and give each one a weekly hours capacity. Each operator becomes a Gantt row, and Draft schedule distributes tasks by availability, planning against that capacity. Overload shows as a red outline, and Alan DMs the admin when next week is over capacity.
Can operators update task status from Slack?
Yes. An operator DMs Alan “start PCB-100” and later “done 50 PCB-100,” and Alan advances the task and posts stock against the scheduled BOM snapshot. The Gantt and My Tasks board update within a second.
What's the difference between free scheduling and the premium auto-scheduler?
The free tier auto-schedules a single customer order in one tap. The premium tier optimizes across every open order, task, and operator at once to minimize tardiness, re-runs nightly, and answers what-if questions for shops with many concurrent orders.
