The Challenge

The Problem We Solve

Your scheduler rebuilds the schedule by hand every time a machine goes down. Every time a rush order lands. Every time a customer calls asking if you can pull their job forward. It's 4pm Friday and sales just promised a customer Monday delivery on a job that wasn't in the plan. Your scheduler spends the next two hours figuring out what to bump, who to call, what the ripple effects are across 200 other jobs. Promise dates are educated guesses. When customers call for updates, you're scrambling to figure out where their job actually is. Expedite chaos is your operating model. Your scheduler is the single point of failure—and they're burning out.
Our Approach

How BlackArc Helps

ArcSchedule uses operations research—the same mathematical optimization that runs airline schedules and supply chains—to generate production schedules that actually work. Feed it your job queue, machine availability, operator skills, material constraints, and priorities. It generates an optimized schedule in seconds. When something changes—and it always does—it replans instantly, showing you the impact before you commit. The scheduling agent handles expedite requests: analyzes the real impact of pulling a job forward, drafts the customer response, and suggests the least-disruptive path. Your scheduler makes the call—but they're not doing the math by hand anymore.
Capabilities

What's Included

Mathematical Optimization Engine

Operations research algorithms that consider machine capacity, changeovers, operator skills, material availability, and priorities simultaneously. Not rules-based—truly optimal.

Real-Time Replanning

Machine goes down? Rush order lands? Material delayed? The schedule updates in seconds, showing ripple effects across every affected job.

Expedite Agent

Customer wants to pull their job forward? The agent analyzes impact, identifies the least-disruptive option, and drafts the response. You decide—it handles the legwork.

Visual Schedule Board

Gantt views, drag-and-drop adjustments, real-time machine status. See what's running, what's next, and what's at risk—all in one place.
