Built a robust Production Scheduling & Planning Tool in Excel to help manufacturing teams balance demand, capacity, material availability, and production priorities in one place.

Key features:
Multi-line production scheduling
Weekly Gantt-style schedule view
Capacity and utilization tracking
Demand vs. available hours analysis
Backlog and order prioritization
Material availability monitoring
Bottleneck and overload alerts
Changeover and maintenance visibility
Schedule adherence tracking
At-risk order identification
Production KPI summaries
Management-ready planning dashboard
Designed to help planners quickly see where the schedule is overloaded, which orders are at risk, and what operational issues need attention before they impact production.
