Have you tried searching for dispatch route scheduling systems? I'm not sure if that is what you are looking for or not, but there seem to be a few systems out there. Bernard Ertl eTaskMaker project planning software

Most any PDM scheduling tool lets you do this with SF relationships. However, I would not recommend it (SF links) as a tool for driving project execution. It is preferable to schedule the work FS and set a finish milestone (with a EF/LF constraint) to reflect the deliverable date. IMO, it...

This is usually accomplished by work sampling studies. Baically, you get someone to watch a portion of the work as discretely as possible and record the results. Usually (but not always) some statistical analysis can be used to extrapolate the sampling results to apply against the entire...

I often see refineries and chemical plants strive to achieve a 1-1 correspondence between timesheet records and project schedules in an effort to generate detailed earned value tracking/analysis. As PQDBach touched on, though, it never works at the detail level. Foremen/supervisors do not...

IMO, the people who choose the system (PMs) will evaluate it on the functionality. The IT folks need to bless it and their concerns are related to network security, integration, etc. Unfortunately, the product needs to be sold to everyone. The functionality for the end user has already been...

Any company with large, long term projects may be basing a significant portion of their financial forecasts upon the cost projections of their schedules. CEOs & CFOs are criminally liable for misrepresenting financial information. Should the schedules misrepresent cost forecasts, they are...

Is Poor Project Management a Crime? (EVMS and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act) IMO, access to tampering with project schedules will become more important as CEOs & CFOs are criminally liable for the results. Ie. Sarbanes-Oxley will affect security concerns over data access. PDQBach, I am not currently...

Thank you John. I was hoping that this forum might have a wider audience of IT folks who have experienced the needs for integrating project scheduling/management software with ERP systems, inventory systems, etc. (or merely manipulating/interpreting it differently than the base functionality...

If you were buying new project management software for your company, and the system you selected came in two versions - one storing all data in a proprietary format and one storing all data in an open format (that can be easily read/altered by humans and/or other software), which would you...

I agree with PDQBach regarding updating existing schedules when their base template has changed, but your post confuses me where you are asking about transfering updated information into the new template. We have a system (see signature) that allows you to build dynamic templates that can...

Some software gathers information about the computer system it is installed on (like CPU serial #, HD serial #, etc.) to tie registrations/licenses to a specific computer. It is the same idea behind Microsoft's product activation for Windows XP. You should contact Primavera support for...

BNPMike, if you are looking for low cost PM software, you might find something in my Directory of Windows Based Project Management Software: http://home.houston.rr.com/interplan/ IIRC, there are some free and low cost ones listed in there. Bernard Ertl www.interplansystems.com - eTaskMaker...

Is this related to project management? There are several Outlook based project management systems on the market. You might try contacting the vendors of those systems to explore business (and/or marketing) opportunities. I've listed some of these vendors on my simple directory of project...
