I'm not anywhere near the point of too many jobs to keep track of at my home shop, however I did the job schuduling at my last job and help with where I am at now. But when there's much more than one man can keep in his head, its really time for some computer job tracking system, and probably a person doing just that.So you may soon be faced with deciding if you want to be making parts, or if you want to be running the business, as there might not be time for both.I also find it best to schedule on when a job has to be started or else it'll be late, then when it has to be done, but I'm a tiny shop working by myself.Though I used to track a bunch of jobs that way last day job I had.Either way its a good problem to be having. The only thing that keeps deliveries on time is getting the work done, so either more people, more machines, one way or another more hours, and you just got a new machine so that's good.Better scheduling that pushes out delivery times further really just creates a bigger problem down the line if work keeps coming in at the same pace with no slowing down for a year, or just has the customer go elsewhere.
