Scheduling Jobs
Posted: Wed Oct 07, 2009 10:46 am
I am an IT director for a shop with 12 full time in house artists and several presses. I am looking for input as to what other shops use to schedule their art and prints. Currently we use a combination of a custom art scheduling application combined with an excel spread sheet.
Our art scheduling application, aptly names Art App is a DOS based app with it's own internal database. It essentially allows to enter in order/job information such as time, time due, artist, job and job details, notes, etc and then schedule our artists accordingly. From there we then take this information and manually create our print schedule based upon completed art and anticipated completions.
I would like to know if anyone else schedules similarly and if so, what application(s) do you use to get this done. We are loking for applications that will run on either Windows XP/Vista or Debian (ubuntu) Linux.
