A plan that doesn't say what runs next runs on whoever shouts loudest. Fast Planning sequences your work orders by order, project and resource priority into an order-wise planned schedule, then lays them out on a DayPilot Gantt scheduler board. Re-sequence a priority and the whole plan re-orders itself — and when it's set, print WO specifications and job cards for the floor, one at a time or a whole run in batch.
Scheduling reads the work orders your MRP run generates, sequences them by priority, and releases them to the floor as job cards. Nothing is scheduled by feel.
Priority is where scheduling starts. Fast Planning carries two kinds: order and project priority for what matters to the customer, and resource priority for how machines and work centres are ranked. Set them, and the software knows a P1 pump body outranks a P3 flange and which machine should take it first — so the shop always has an answer to "what do I run next?" that isn't the last phone call.
From the priorities you set, Fast Planning produces an order-wise planned schedule — the work orders lined up in the sequence they should run, order by order. It's the bridge between "here's what we need to make" and "here's the order we'll make it in": every work order has a place in the queue, and the queue reflects the priorities, not a planner's memory. It's the same schedule the Gantt board draws and the floor executes.
A list tells you the sequence; a Gantt board shows you the shape. Fast Planning lays your work orders out on a DayPilot scheduler board — resources down the side, time across the top — so clashes, gaps and the whole day's shape are one picture. Change a work order's priority and the board re-orders itself instantly, so a rush order or a customer escalation is a drag away from a re-planned day, not a rebuilt spreadsheet.
A schedule is only useful once it reaches the machine. When the sequence is set, Fast Planning prints each work order's specification and job card — the routing, operations and standard times from its process sheet — for a single work order, or for a whole run of scheduled work orders in one batch. Plan-release and work-order alerts tell the shop it's coming, and Dhruv AI answers plain-English questions over the schedule.
Rank work orders by what matters to the customer, so customer-critical jobs sit at the front of the queue.
Rank machines and work centres so the schedule knows which resource should take a work order first.
Work orders lined up in priority sequence, order by order — the plan the whole shop runs to.
A visual scheduler board with work orders as bars on a resource-and-time timeline, drag-ready.
Change a priority and the planned schedule and Gantt board re-order themselves at once — no rebuild.
Print a WO specification and job card for one work order, or a whole scheduled run in one batch.
Each job card carries the routing, operations and standard cycle and setting times the floor needs to run it.
Scheduling sits on finite machine loading, so the sequence respects which resources are already overloaded.

A plan you can't re-order is a plan you abandon the first time a rush order lands. Here's the difference — and for the fundamentals, read our production planning guide.
Fast Planning sequences work orders by priority — order and project priority for what matters to the customer, and resource priority for how machines and work centres are ranked. Set the priorities and the software produces an order-wise planned schedule that puts the work orders in the sequence they should run, so the shop always knows what to pick up next rather than working by whoever shouts loudest.
The DayPilot Gantt scheduler board lays your work orders out on a visual timeline — resources down the side, time across the top — so the whole plan is one picture instead of a list. Work orders appear as bars against the machines and work centres that run them, letting a planner see clashes, gaps and sequence at a glance and drag the schedule into shape.
Yes. Changing a work order's priority instantly re-orders the schedule around it. When a customer escalates or a rush order lands, you re-sequence priority and the order-wise planned schedule and the Gantt board re-order themselves — so the plan reflects the new reality immediately, without rebuilding a spreadsheet by hand.
Yes. Once the schedule is set you can print each work order's specification and job card — the routing, operations and standard times the shop floor needs — individually for a single work order, or in batch for a whole run of scheduled work orders at once, so releasing a day's work to the floor is one action, not fifty. The cards carry the routing from each process sheet.
Scheduling sits on top of finite machine loading. Capacity planning shows which machines and work centres are overloaded and when they free up; scheduling and priority then sequence the work orders across that finite capacity. Because both run on one platform with the shared work orders, the schedule you release is the one the shop floor executes and books progress against — cloud or on-premise, for manufacturers of every kind, across India and worldwide.
