Abstract: Novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing optimized scheduling of tasks involving equipment used by multiple individuals. In various embodiments, a computing system might receive, from a first user, a first request to use first equipment that is disposed in a work environment, the first request comprising information regarding a first task to be performed using the first equipment. The computing system might determine a core processing time during which the requested first equipment performs core processes involved with performing the first task, might determine a pre-processing time and a post-processing time involved with performance of the first task. The computing system might determine an estimated total processing time to complete the first task using the first equipment, based on the determined core processing time, pre-processing time, and post-processing time. The computing system might display the estimated total processing time to complete the first task using the first equipment.
