I just can't accept that what I want to do hasn't been thought of before. It's to basic a concept for there not to be an existing product that can at least do something reasonably close. There are too many manufacturing environments and locations f

I used the MS Outlook exchange sever task list very successfully for a similar situation. Which allows you to set up a shared folder between you and lead assembler. Everyone can electronically view (read only) your production schedule, and email noti

Hi I don't mean to be offensive, so bear with me. Also I might really be off for what I think you intend. As I read what you want to do, maybe you do want something that is a bit unique for a manufacturing situation. You seem to be more focussed o
