Abstract
High variety industries are characterized by low volume and high product
variety. As such their production processes grow more complex with the
increase in product variations. Hence, the use of tools such as project
management and scheduling applications are important in ensuring
efficient production runs. Though SMEs are present in such industries,
they have been slow in the adoption of technology due to varied reasons.
This slow adoption is often attributed to high set up costs and the complex
nature of such tools. This project involves the development of a task
scheduling application that will be simple enough to incorporate into their
operations and can help make the operations of SMEs in such industries
more efficient. Additionally, this application employs a user-friendly
approach in order to eliminate the initial cost of training and to help ease
their adoption of technology.
