This page tells an ordinary Tuesday at a make-to-order factory — and how it gets fixed. I work on production planning and shop-floor digitalization for make-to-order manufacturers: digital shop-floor reports, finite-capacity planning, rescheduling on rush orders and breakdowns, and workforce management (attendance, shifts, absences). Always integrated with your systems: your ERP, your MES or your spreadsheets stay in charge. The software proposes; your planner approves. You always talk to the person who builds it: one person, in Pamplona, Spain.
Cells full of comments, a sticky note that says "see whiteboard", three versions of the same file — and nobody knows yet who showed up today. The shift has already started.
07:31 — Solved: digital shop-floor report. Reports are logged on the floor, every value has an owner and a timestamp, and your ERP stays in charge — and now it also tells the truth. Digital reports and clock-ins, attendance and absences at a glance, per-order traceability and dashboards that feed themselves. Process digitalization · Workforce: attendance, shifts and absences · From ERP and Excel to a feasible plan
Two orders blocked, two deliveries at risk, one rush job with no slot. In most plants this gets solved by shouting, moving magnets and crossing fingers.
10:24 — Solved: a new plan in minutes. The finite-capacity engine reorders the load: one job jumps to another machine, another waits for the center to come back, the rush order fits, and you see which delivery is affected before approving. The breakdown doesn't vanish: the plan works around it. And if a delivery takes a hit, it gets said — "+4 h, customer informed". Production rescheduling · Finite capacity scheduling · Reduce late deliveries
Nobody knows for sure. It gets accepted just in case, and in week 2 it turns out it didn't fit; or it gets declined out of fear, and it was free margin.
13:52 — Solved: three scenarios, costs included. No magic underneath: there is a mathematical model of your plant — capacity, routings, shifts and available people, operations research — that works out what happens if you take it as is, add an extra shift on Friday, or delay a flexible order. Every option with its consequences; the decision is still yours, now with numbers. Process optimization
Copilot, not autopilot. No two plants are alike, and there is no off-the-shelf product here: every project is designed for your case and your company — your routings, your rules, your systems. I integrate with your ERP, your MES or your spreadsheets: I don't replace them and I don't touch your machines. The tool is built custom or, if your systems allow it, inside the ones you already use. And you always deal with the same person: the one who understands your plant is the one who writes the code. Who's behind J7 · Planning copilot · For make-to-order manufacturers

Not a plant project? I also build custom software: web and mobile applications, management platforms and integrations.
Custom digitalization, optimization and planning for make-to-order manufacturers — integrated with your ERP and your spreadsheets, which stay in charge. The software proposes; you approve. What you’re looking at is a day at your factory.
