For plants, lines, and shop floors

Three shifts. Zero double-bookings.

Weekwright drafts your rotation against the real ratios — line operators, machine techs, maintenance, supervisors. Plant-safety caps (12h max, 10h rest) BLOCKING by default.

Built for the way you actually staff

The problems we hear from manufacturing managers.

  • Three-shift rotation that doesn't burn out the day shift

    Fairness analytics flag when the same crew catches consecutive weekends or repeated overnights. The AI rotates fairly when drafting — not the same five people every week.

  • Plant-safety caps mean BLOCKING, not WARNING

    12-hour shift cap, 10-hour rest between shifts — preset BLOCKING from the first schedule. Supervisor can't accidentally over-schedule.

  • Machine-tech coverage is non-negotiable

    Tag maintenance-cert as a required skill on the supervisor / maintenance positions. The conflict detector refuses to publish a shift without one available.

  • Handover slots between shifts must overlap

    Schedule the outgoing shift to end 15 minutes after the incoming starts. Templates lock this in once and apply it forward.
