Which is essential to have for a vast and diverse job shop. Also whenever I needed assistance with it the service and support is immediate and has always been sufficient to solve any issues. Pros It is extremely customizable to your current work mix or processes. Can be used for day to day scheduling, and forecasting. Cons It is clunky at times. the user interface isn't as the best.

Master Production Scheduler Pharmaceuticals ### "Simple yet powerful and effective" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 September 26, 2018 I stepped into a business that was scheduling on a wall with post it notes. Long processes that took days-weeks with multiple pieces of equipment to schedule. With less than 2 hrs demo and support I was able to load all our info and get an optimized schedule. Trial period was nice to get a feel for the system and its capabilities. There aren't a lot of bells and whistles, but has lots of options once you learn the system. Super quick to rerun the schedule with different due dates, priorities, orders, etc. Pros Software was easy learn, easy to update, and provided the most optimized schedule of all tools demoed. Cons Would have liked to lock some orders to specific dates, like when locking in a schedule for 2 weeks, then optimizing past that. I found ways around it but would have liked an easier way.

Pros The software is very flexible and has multiple scheduling options, allowing for optimization of different variables. Also, because its based on Access databases, the outputs are easy to integrate into other reporting and visualization applications. Cons Some of the architecture and terminology are not very intuitive, and sometimes even counter-intuitive.

EC Emily C. Operations Manager Furniture ### "Schedulyzer Lite in a small shop with highly varied tasks and worker skills" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 April 20, 2018 It has helped us take a very busy schedule with several workers of varying skills and jobs with numerous different steps, and manage it to help ensure we prioritize jobs correctly, and understand our capacity. Pros We are a small custom furniture and upholstery company. Our business and team began growing quickly a couple of years ago when we began manufacturing marine cushions; as such excel and a calendar were not cutting it anymore to manage our schedule. We needed something to help us manage and schedule the steps that had to occur to ensure jobs were completed on time. Schedulyzer Lite has met our needs at a manageable start-up cost for a company of our size. - I like that I am able to enter jobs with multiple tasks that are completed by different workers and at various points. This software is able to sequence the steps appropriately while working to meet the overall due date. - It’s easy to print off the schedule details with just a couple of clicks. - Customer service is excellent; requests for assistance are responded to almost always the same day, often in the same hour. - Technicians will walk you step by step through the launch and assist with any challenges you encounter for quite a while after your launch - The software is straightforward to use and I love that it saves job templates so I can easily enter similar jobs in the future. Cons Optisol rep I worked with was sometimes hard to understand due to a thick accent; however he was always very patient to repeat/rephrase when needed. - I wish I could print off/export the gantt chart view of the schedule.

RH Rob H. Purchasing/Scheduling Machinery ### "Schedlyzer Lite does a great job for the price." 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 April 13, 2018 Pros We are a small company that makes custom industrial ovens. We do engineering design, fabrication, welding, painting, assembly, electrical wiring and testing for all ovens. We were having a difficult time estimating our ship dates and understanding capacity constraints. However, we did not want to spend a lot of money on scheduling software that might be too cumbersome for us to understand and maintain. Schedlyzer Lite has met our needs for a great price. It is not fancy, but it does the job and is easy to maintain and understand. It is easy to set-up so the 60 day trial period was plenty of time for me to make my buy decision. Customer support is excellent. I get my questions answered on the spot or within few hours Price is very affordable for the functionality you get Ability to create routing templates makes entering new jobs easy Cons It is sometimes difficult for me to understand one of the rep due to his accent. However, he is more than willing to explain things again. It would be nice to see a list of jobs ready for a resource, but which are waiting because another job is occupying that resource.

Response from Vendor April 16, 2018 Thanks to our customer Mr. Rob Hughes for a valuable suggestion for further enhancement of Schedlyzer Lite functionality. CU Carlos U. Strategic Development Manager Mechanical or Industrial Engineering ### "Schedlyzer user for over 4 years" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 March 22, 2017 Optisol´s solution has been of great benefit for our organization and for our customers! We have managed to place control over a very large and complicated manufacturing process. The process of introduction to the operation of Schedulyzer was significantly less painful than expected. We got higher confidence in the completeition times of our projects, specially larger ones. We typically operate with around 100 orders active in the system at the same time, each having a large amount of activities. Now we are in the process of bringing the rest of our operations to the system sure of bringing the benefits Optisol advertise. Pros The ability to make sense of large number of activities, with different priorities and different constraints. Cons That it does not run a live simulation of what should be going on. It basically gives a static forecast every time. Reporting is not that great looking either.

NU Nicholas U. ### "Schedlyzer in a High Mix Low Volume Job Shop " 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 3.0 3.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 0/10 October 7, 2016 My company was looking for a scheduling tool to use in our high mix low volume shop. Schedlyzer fit the bill and has been working well for our needs. The customer support has been very good. The program is definitely function over form. A 60 day free trial is offered which was very helpful. Once it is set up properly and you understand how to navigate the program it is an effective tool for scheduling. Getting to that point will take some time. Pros: Fast and easy to iterate the schedule "What if" function works well Customer support is excellent Free trial Affordable Cons: Set up is a long and arduous process The aesthetic is dated but functional Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site. All submitted reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. Response from Vendor October 7, 2016 I agree with Nicholas Ungar's comment on the setup process. If there are numerous work centers, two or more shifts, multi-functional machines, workers with different skill sets, etc, then Schedlyzer implementation involves relatively more time and effort and requires patience from people involved. Moreover, integration of Schedlyzer with company's ERP system also involves considerable work. This implementation is successful mainly due to the enthusiasm, dedication and hard work of Nicholas Ungar in the project. Optisol provided guidance in the implementation. ZD zach d. president Building Materials ### "Schedlyzer helped us get a grip on our capasity" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 September 27, 2016 WE researched many scheduling software packages and discovered that many of them were just glorified calendars that were not based on any real data. Schedlyzer was the best capacity planning software that we could find. It has helped us see true asset utilization, bottlenecks, and be able to see how break in work effects the overall schedule. Not only is the software great i have had a great experience with Prasad. When i had questions he was more than responsive. Pros ease of customization Cons there is a language barrier between Prasad and his customers that can make communication difficult. Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site. All submitted reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. Response from Vendor October 3, 2016 I agree with Zach regarding communication. Some people find it somewhat difficult to follow my heavy accent in English. But, Zach implicitly provided a good example that the merit of Schedlyzer can outweigh this drawback. We are glad that the merit of Schedlyzer keeps us in competition in spite of the drawback. After the free trial period, users buy Schedlyzer and contact us very infrequently for any help because they do not need the help anymore. Prasad Velaga, PhD DC Dan C. Applications/Operations Engineer Consumer Goods ### "Great Piece of Software to Bring Order and Efficiency to Scheduling and Production" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 3.0 3.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 August 4, 2016 Getting setup with this software was a somewhat complex but the customer support provided in setting it up made it a breeze. I was allowed to extend my demo period in order to prove that the software was the right choice for our company. Any questions that I had were thoroughly answered in order to provide me with a better understanding of the product. Excellent experience overall! Pros The flexibility of this program is fantastic once you get used to all of the different modules. It can provide many benefits for any low volume/high variety manufacturing process. It is very versatile. Cons The program is a little cumbersome to use but once you get used to it, scheduling is a breeze. The benefits highly outweigh the cons. I would like to be able to customize reports in the future. For example, add job quantity to the project summary sheet....stuff like that. Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site. All submitted reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. Response from Vendor August 4, 2016 We accept the opinion of Mr. Dan Coleman about user friendliness of our software. Being highly versatile for a wide spectrum of job shops, our software is not very user friendly during the first few days of trial runs. Later, it will be quite easy to run the software. For this reason, we strongly urge new users to take our full, unconditional help over web, email and phone in the initial phase of free evaluation. CK Chris K. Managing Director ### "Great Software and Great Service" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 0.0 0.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 0/10 July 28, 2015 We have been using Schedlyser for over a year and it has been fantastic. The software has allowed us to schedule production and gain visibility. The production schedule can either be printed as a list or a gant chart which gives us the reports we need to run the factory efficiently. I would thoroughly recommend this software to any manufacturing company. Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.
