Ark Shift Planner
Intelligent multi-heuristic scheduling with AI-guided justification.
Configure shifts, resources, and jobs — then let the planner optimise your schedule.
Sample Scenarios
Choose a domain to pre-populate shifts, resources, jobs and constraints.
Healthcare / Hospital
Schedule surgeons, OR rooms, and nurses across procedure blocks with skill requirements, rest constraints, and dependency chains.
CNC Discrete Manufacturing
Schedule machining jobs across CNC centres with setup/teardown times, tooling requirements, and QC inspection gaps.
Automotive Assembly Line
Sequence station jobs with takt time constraints, WIP limits, and dependency chains across a multi-vehicle build.
Additive Manufacturing (3D Farm)
Assign print jobs to SLA, FDM, and SLS printers with curing/cooldown time requirements and post-processing dependencies.
Chemical Process Plant
Schedule batch reactor jobs across 3-shift overnight patterns with process temperature ranges, cooldown constraints, and maintenance windows.
IT Support / Helpdesk
Assign support tickets to tiered agents with SLA due dates, minimum skill levels, and labor headcount requirements.
8 Scheduling Heuristics
EDD, SPT, LPT, Critical Ratio, WSPT, FFD, Simulated Annealing, Genetic Algorithm — plus Auto-select.
Rich Constraint Modelling
Setup/teardown times, skill levels, maintenance windows, labor requirements, dependency chains and more.
