What's a Gantt chart and why do manufacturers use one?
A Gantt chart shows jobs as horizontal bars across a date axis - you see at a glance which jobs overlap, which are running long, and where the bottleneck is. For mid-market manufacturers managing 10-50 concurrent jobs, the Gantt is the single most useful planning tool that exists.
FAQ
Can I save my schedule for next time?
Yes - the schedule auto-saves to your browser's localStorage. Reopen the tool, your jobs are still there.
What if I need machine-level or cell-level scheduling?
