Demo Application on Symfony Scheduler

This application is a factory simulator. In terms of operations, the factory runs six days a week (Monday through Saturday). In addition to Sundays, the factory doesn’t run on Christmas Eve, Christmas, New Year’s Eve, and New Year. On the days which the factory runs, it operates on 4 hour shifts starting at midnight with a 2 hour break between each shift.

To keep track of things, the factory requires reports to be generated. In particular, three reports are required:

• A production report which is expected at the end of each day
• An incident report which is expected after every shift
• A compensation report which is expected on the last day of the month

This application shows how to use the Symfony scheduler to handle the nuances associated with this task.

System Requirements

• PHP 8.4 or above
• PDO-SQLite PHP extension enabled;
• Git
