I am trying to solve a problem at work.

Quick summary, this is assosicated with scheduling in samples to shoot on a daily basis. The schedule is created a week in advance and sometimes it changes. This is all organised on Excel BUT the problem comes when the schedule is being created for the next week. It takes a lot of time to piece it all together but once it is done, things are okay.

Numerous problems arise such as adding something in to say Tuesday and forgotting to take it out of another day, thus making a duplicate. Also forgetting what items are 'leftover' to try and squeeze in.

At the moment, a small team sit down with a schedule (Monday-Friday) and are tasked with filling each day with 60 items per day.

Is there software out there that could solve this? Something that could display EVERYTHING that needs to be shot and can be slotted into different days?

Hope this makes sense...!
 
I work for an Construction company and they use Asta Development. unfortunately i have 0 user experience with this software, however, I do know Its a highly configurable and gives exactly what you want - a resource planning tool. My company employs over 600+ field operatives and hgv drivers who are all managed on this asta software...
 
I'll have a look at that.

To specify exactly what I am looking for (and avoid creating a new thread).

  • A simple drag and drop visual tool preferably with the ability to import the job list from SAP.
  • Show several production lines, each with orders on them with a variety of sub steps
  • Ability to drag sub steps between lines while showing affect on the start/stop times of the other steps on these lines and the whole orders
  • Ability data to excel
  • I am looking to just schedule the weeks production and track to the hour. Probably looking at 6 lines with 3 to 4 orders on each. Each order is approx 10 steps that must occur in a specified sequence

I don't need a huge enterprise level solution. We already have SAP but the visual planning (or our implementation of it) sucks.

Thanks
