Hi all

I am a complete newbie to Microsoft Project so i am hoping i will be able to get some help :-)

I am a production planner and baiscally i shedull work for 2o people. We have about 30 machines that are grouped into 3 categories.

What i am after is a way of being able to use project to be able to tell me that i have x amount of labour per day, and then i can then plan jobs onto the available machines. I need it to recognise that certain machines only run certain jobs so for example machine 1 might be used and therefore if another job uses machine 1 it will have to wait until the next day All the time i need it to keep track of how many labour hours i am using for that day and not let me overplan

Is this possible? i am not sure if the people should be the resource or the machines?

Many Thanks for any help

Chris
