Scheduling software
(OP)
I am looking for scheduling software. We build sign structures which are basically four different configurations of several different lenghts. I would like to have a software that takes into account raw material delivery, machine loading, assembly area usage (since these structures require a large area for assembly), etc. We dont have the money to purchase a full blown scheduling system. What I would like is something a few notches above Microsoft Project.

the lite version of their software is pretty good if you have relatively simple routes, it handles 1000 operations/stage in any schedule. Space can be modeled as a workcentre with finite capacity. It costs around £250, we were considering it as a checp bolt on to our manufacturing system to handle what if scenarios.
