Which software to use for scheduling?
Qualificatons
1) Appropriate for scheduling jobs in a machine shop.
2) Relatively easy to use
3) Relatively inexpensive (I looked at Esti-Track from Henning; wow - $7000 is way too much!)
4) Ability to see schedule graphically by Bar or Gannt charts.
5) Used by many companies. This says two things: the sotware and its maker will probably be around for years, and it is a decent product because it has captured a good market share.
Thanks for any help! -- wcarey

If on the other hand you need to do job scheduling for maintenance personnel and keep reconds of your equipment and all of that sort of stuff then I would recommend you look at Datastream's product called MP2. We used it at a facility in which I worked and they are pretty good with their service. You can see them at:

Hope this can help you out in some way and you have a GREAT day.

They advertise that they are #1 in software for manufacturing and job shops and a single user system is less than $500. The software can also support multiple users over a network. Tell them who sent you if you buy!
