Design of a Resource Scheduling Tool for Production Project Management

Article Preview

Abstract:

Production planning is clearly needed in all manufacturing systems, and that is also the case for job shops. When dealing with a small number of products or jobs repetitive scheduling becomes a major issue. In this situation, the same tasks are performed sequentially and repeated from job to job. To help with this problem, a resource scheduling tool is developed that would work alongside Microsoft Project. This tool should act as a front end to Microsoft Project and allow for the creation of a schedule with a minimal amount of work for the scheduling manager. Due to the repetitive nature of production processes, the tool should be able to eliminate most of the manual scheduling currently done exclusively in MS Project.
