Gantt-Based Development Project Scheduler

Overview

In-house desktop program for the stage schedules of a tire manufacturer's development projects
Users: development engineers, team leads, account administrators
Flow: login → projects in a Gantt overview → project detail → review and adjust stage tasks
Schedule data kept on an in-house server, with each PC's program sharing the same view

Schedules read at different time scales — both day-level detail and a multi-month overview
Weekends blending into the timeline, making stage durations hard to count
Repeated stage sets per car maker, re-entered for every new project
Projects narrowed by attributes such as plant, car maker and tag
Different priorities per owner, calling for a way to reorder what is shown first

Gantt layout with one row per project and colored bars for stage tasks
Slider setting day width between 5 and 100 px → day-level detail and multi-month overview in the same screen
Saturdays in blue and Sundays in red in the date header
Priority number and a star for own involvement shown at the left of each project row
Project name click → detail window with basic information, memo history and stage schedule
Search area grouping date range, project ID and name, car maker, plant and tags

Task bar edges dragged to set start date and duration
Right-click on a task bar for the delete menu
Overlapping periods on task creation reported with the conflicting task, then stopped
Car maker template loading a stage set as tasks, with names, durations and colors

Program on each PC → in-house server → project, engineer and memo data
Access granted at login and used for later requests, with re-login once it expires
Account levels: administrator (accounts and projects) / team lead / engineer
One project = basic information (plant, fitment, size, status) + assigned engineers + memos + stage tasks

Gantt view drawn directly, scrollbars included, so date grid and task bars stay aligned at any zoom level
Date label spacing widened automatically as day width shrinks, preventing overlap
Only the visible range drawn, keeping response steady as projects and tasks grow
Task name switched between white and black from the bar color's brightness, readable on any color
Cursor changed to a resize shape near a bar edge, separating duration changes from plain selection
Wheel for vertical movement and Ctrl+wheel for horizontal, keeping long schedules navigable

Assigned projects and their stage schedules readable on one screen
Day-level and multi-month views switched in place, allowing comparison across projects
Repeated per-car-maker stages loaded from a template instead of re-entered at project creation
Task durations adjusted by dragging bar edges, with no date typing
Account and project management separated by account level, with unauthenticated requests blocked at the server

From software development to equipment integration and engineering, we can work out the approach that fits what your project needs.
