Business Impact

Drive Operational Excellence

An optimized production schedule transforms your shop floor into a high-performance system. See measurable improvements across key operational metrics.

Maximize Throughput

Minimize makespan by finding optimal job sequences. Identify and manage bottlenecks before they slow your line. Reduce machine idle time and improve overall equipment effectiveness (OEE).

Reduce Operating Costs

Lower work-in-process (WIP) inventory by preventing bottlenecks. Minimize wasteful non-productive machine hours. Optimize energy and material utilization.

Improve On-Time Delivery

Align production with customer due dates. Shorten lead times by streamlining material flow. Adapt quickly to demand changes or unexpected disruptions. Calendar-aware scheduling ensures commitments are based on actual shift hours and machine availability.

Enable Continuous Improvement

Create steady, predictable workflow essential for JIT production. Gain visibility into shop floor activities. Measure KPIs against scheduled goals to identify optimization opportunities.

Advanced Capabilities

Developed for Modern Manufacturing

Most scheduling tools assume one machine per stage. Schantt handles the reality of modern manufacturing.

Multi-Machine Stages

Multiple machines working in parallel at each stage. Schantt automatically assigns jobs to optimize utilization and minimize bottlenecks.

Changeover Optimization

Configurable product-to-product changeover times for any machine. The algorithm finds sequences that minimize total setup time between products.

Batch & Flow Processing

Model both batch operations (mixing tanks, ovens,...) and continuous flow operations (filling lines, packaging,...). Mix both in the same production line.

Calendar-Aware Scheduling

Multiple calendars of shift patterns for each day of the week. Mark holidays or add overtime exceptions. Assign different calendars per machine. Define downtimes for all or any specific machines. Calendar periods for schedule-level temporal composition.

Flexible Routing

Products can start at any stage, not just the first. Model sub-assemblies, intermediate products, and variable routing paths.

Professional Gantt Charts

Color-coded visualization of tasks with machine-level detail. Customize display preferences, share with stakeholders via secure links. Calendar components (exceptions, downtimes) are also visualized.

Flexible Scheduling

Three Modes for Every Scenario

Choose full automation for routine scheduling, guided optimization for strategic control, or complete manual entry when you need it.

Auto Mode

Full Optimization

Enter your products and quantities. Schantt determines the optimized production sequence, machine assignments, and timing automatically.

  • Algorithm optimizes everything
  • Minimal input required
  • Fastest results

Semi-Auto Mode

Guided Optimization

You define the production sequence and optional start time constraints for specific jobs. Schantt optimizes machine assignments and timing within your constraints.

  • You control the sequence
  • Optional start time constraints
  • Algorithm optimizes the rest

Manual Mode

Complete Control

Specify every detail — sequence, machines, and timing — for complete control. Perfect for complex scenarios requiring precise control.

  • Full scheduling control
  • Manual job placement and sequencing
  • No algorithm involvement
Competitive Advantages

Why Choose Schantt?

More powerful than spreadsheets, simpler than enterprise software. Developed specifically for flowshop manufacturing.

Intelligent Optimization

Advanced algorithms intelligently explore thousands of possible schedules to find optimized sequences. Typically achieve significant makespan improvements over manual planning.

Production-Ready

Not a research prototype. Proven algorithms with test coverage, intuitive interface, and continuous updates. Get results in hours, not months.

Calendar Integration

Schedule within your facility's actual working hours. Define shift patterns, machine-specific calendars, downtimes, and exceptions. Your Gantt always reflects what's actually achievable on the shop floor.

Cloud-Based Software

No infrastructure to manage. Access from anywhere. Automatic updates and backups. Multi-organization support with data isolation.

Quick Setup

Define your production process and create your first schedule in under an hour.

Team Collaboration

Invite team members with role-based access. Share schedules via secure links.

Flexible Pricing

Free Demo plan forever. Upgrade when you need more capacity. Pay monthly or annually.
