I run a combined warehousing and steel fabrication operation and I need a dedicated desktop application (MS Excel) that lets us schedule production efficiently. The tool must install and run reliably on both macOS and Windows machines and I’m aiming to have a first usable release as soon as possible. At a minimum the scheduler should let us: • input the difference machines and their respective production rates • set up different production methodologies • create and edit production jobs in a calendar or Gantt-style view • forecast delivery and expenses depending on manpower, shift schedules, and workdays • assign work centres, crews, or machines to each job • track inventory or raw-material availability and usage • produce simple status or output reports that I can export to PDF or Excel Please outline: 1. Your proposed framework and why you prefer it. 2. How quickly you can deliver an initial working build, followed by the polished version. 3. The deliverables you’ll hand over (installers, source code, build instructions, basic user guide). I’m ready to move fast, so if you’ve built something similar or have an off-the-shelf base you can customise, let me know and we can jump straight in.

Build a cross-platform desktop production scheduler in an MS Excel-friendly workflow for rapid adoption across macOS and Windows. The first usable release will focus on a stable workbook/app core with: machine/production-rate inputs; production methodologies; job creation and edits in a calendar/Gantt-style grid; manpower/shift/workday forecasting for delivery dates and expense estimates; assignment of work centres/crews/machines per job; lightweight inventory/material availability and consumption tracking; and exportable status/output reports to PDF/Excel. Framework: model-driven sheets + rules-based calculations, separating data tables from scheduling logic so you can adjust methodologies without breaking the calendar. Use consistent identifiers for jobs, work centres, crews, machines, and material items, enabling reliable recalculation and reporting. Delivery: earliest working build quickly (MVP) with import-friendly templates, then a polished version with improved UI controls, validation, and report formatting. Hand-off: installers/build artifacts (where applicable), source project files, build instructions, and a concise user guide covering setup, adding machines/rates, creating jobs, and exporting reports.

Hi, It looks like the focus is on a reliable desktop scheduler for production planning with cross-platform support, not too far from some internal tooling work I’ve done before. For the framework I’d likely reach for WPF with .NET 8, because it gives solid performance on both Windows and macOS (via .NET MAUI for UI) and keeps the Excel integration straightforward. The calendar/Gantt view can be handled with existing libraries so we don’t reinvent the wheel. An initial build with core scheduling, basic inventory tracking, and PDF/Excel export could be ready in two to three weeks, then polished with reports and edge-case handling over the following two weeks. Deliverables would include signed installers, source code, a short build guide, and a one-page user manual. One tricky part is keeping the inventory numbers in sync with the production jobs—we’d need to lock rows during edits and refresh from the same SQLite store that holds the schedule. Another is handling timezone and shift patterns across different machines without messing up the forecast. The main unknown is how detailed the raw material tracking needs to be; if it’s just high-level thresholds we can ship something simple first and expand later. Thanks, Denis

I can build this as a cross-platform Excel-based production scheduler, with the first usable version focused on getting your warehouse/fabrication planning running quickly rather than overengineering it. My approach: Excel + C#/.NET where needed for reliable automation and Windows/macOS compatibility Machine/work-centre setup with production rates and methodologies Calendar/Gantt scheduling with editable jobs and assignments Manpower, shifts, workdays and production-rate based delivery/expense forecasting Crew/machine allocation and conflict visibility Raw-material inventory and usage tracking PDF/Excel production and status reports I’d start with a working MVP covering job creation, scheduling, machine/work-centre allocation and basic forecasting, then add inventory, reporting and polish in the second phase. Initial working build: 3–5 days Polished release: 7–12 days, depending on the exact scheduling rules. Deliverables will include the Excel application, source code, build/setup instructions, installers/package where applicable, and a concise user guide. One important question: do your production rates and scheduling rules already exist in Excel, or would I need to define the calculation logic with you?

Working on it based on the C# desktop scheduler project for warehousing and steel fabrication. Running dual inventory across warehousing and fabrication in one scheduler is the hard part, most tools treat them as separate. I would build this in C# WPF with a shared SQL Server backend so job scheduling and stock levels stay in sync, plus Excel import/export for your existing sheets. Can start today, working build in 5 to 7 days. These numbers are based on the post as written, we will refine both after a quick scope call. Want to jump on one?

Scheduling steel fabrication across macOS and Windows with Gantt views and forecasting is a solid fit for an Electron app with React on the front end. Electron gives you native installers for both platforms from a single codebase, and it plays well with local SQLite for offline reliability on the shop floor. First thing I'd do is build the machine/rate input module and a basic Gantt calendar, then layer in job assignment, shift-based forecasting, and inventory tracking. Since you mentioned MS Excel, I'll make sure the export pipeline handles both Excel and PDF natively. Bundling SQLite instead of requiring a server means your team won't deal with network dependency during shifts, which is where most shop-floor tools quietly break down. Best regards, Shayan
