I once had to write something for planning work on vehicles. You had to consider things like

01: Employee availability (holidays + unplanned absence)
02: Employee skills for specific jobs
03: Planned vs unplanned work (break down)
04: Availbility of the vehicle (road gritters for example are not available at certain times of the year)
05: Only allow a % of each vehicle type to be in for repair at a time within each area.

I actually wrote it on a PICK operating system using a 4GL named "System Builder+". It was quite a complicated systeml, but I was able to make it much easier by writing something that emulated OOP. Actually, now that I think back, I was even able to develop a tool that single-stepped through the code like F7 does in Delphi. hehehe.

Anyway, I'm not aware of anything that exists in your area. Are you considering writing something?


Yes, but I am very "green" in this field. (puns intended) so before re-inventing the boiling water I am investigating what could already exist in the Delphi World
