Schedlyzer

Schedlyzer is production scheduling software from Optisol designed specifically for high-mix, low-volume, make-to-order, engineer-to-order and custom manufacturing environments, particularly small and mid-sized job shops. Its primary purpose is to create practical finite-capacity production schedules that balance jobs, machines, workers, material availability and due dates while helping manufacturers improve throughput and on-time delivery. Key features include automatic job scheduling, optimal job start times, dispatch lists, bottleneck and workflow prediction, lead-time estimation, what-if analysis, proactive capacity planning, vendor-operation scheduling, material-availability tracking, multi-resource operations, operation precedence, multi-skilled worker and multi-functional machine allocation, and handling of shift calendars, breakdowns and worker absences. Its interface provides Gantt charts, resource-utilization views, drag-and-drop schedule adjustments and Excel export, giving production managers both automated scheduling and manual control. Performance is a major focus, with the software designed to recalculate and revise schedules almost instantaneously when production conditions change, supporting rapid what-if analysis and rush-order decisions. It can operate as standalone scheduling software or integrate with popular ERP systems.
