A slot the workshop can actually hit.
The scheduler assigns a realistic build slot for the new order against the workshop's actual capacity. Existing queue, stage bottlenecks (cutting, assembly, finishing, QC), and real labor hours are factored in - so the customer gets a date the floor can defend.
Two-week capacity view - the moment BMF-2401 lands
Capacity-aware slotting
The next order slots in where the queue actually has room - not next Monday because the calendar looks blank.
Stage-level bottleneck awareness
Cutting, assembly, finishing and QC are tracked as separate stages with their own capacity. A finishing bottleneck won't be hidden by an idle assembly bench.
Realistic labor hours
The hours the estimator uses to price the piece are the same hours the scheduler uses to slot it. No optimism gap between quote and floor.
Rush and priority handling
Rush orders reshuffle the queue with explicit tradeoff visibility - the workshop sees exactly which existing order shifts by how many days.
Holidays and workshop calendar
Workshop holidays, vendor lead times, and known non-productive days are honored, not silently ignored.
Re-plan on the fly
When a stage runs long or a material is delayed, the plan re-computes affected downstream slots and flags the orders whose promised date needs a customer conversation.
