Development of a computerized tool for production scheduling and resource planning

Many companies nowadays rely on ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) systems, which allows them to centralize many business functions such as Human Resources, Accounting , Production and Inventory into a single software. This allows for seamless sharing of information within a company. Embedded within...
