production schedule

Output planning calendar

A production schedule is a detailed plan specifying when and how goods will be manufactured or content will be created.

In manufacturing, it coordinates materials, labor, and equipment to meet delivery deadlines.

In film and television, the production schedule maps out shooting days, locations, and talent availability: We're three days behind on the production schedule.

The term applies wherever complex projects require sequenced tasks and resource allocation.
