Microsoft Scheduler is a great stand alone product.  You would have to implement an integration.

Thanks Doug.  Google tells me MS Scheduler is more for meetings..?

Do you mean MS Project?  (I found instructions to import into Project from a spreadsheet, but not directly from ODBC...).

yes.  MS Project.  I know you can schedule in Project.  There are milestones, Gant charts etc.  I have used it several times for larger projects however it has been a few years.  You could also use Excel as it has Gant charts.  See the two tabs in the workbook attached to this email.

Thanks again Doug.  Yes, I took a course in Project way back-in-the-day and am generally familiar with the idea of Gantt charts. 

Client data is fairly complex (multi-layer bills), with lots of custom reports for planning production / purchasing.  A new CFO is asking questions about integrated options, which don't seem to be readily available.

Isn't that one of the reasons people choose Operations Management over Production Management?  Trying to avoid cost, complexity and ... other potential issues?

Thanks Gary, but I don't really know anything about Operations Management.  Does it include scheduling at the step / activity level?

(This long-term client of ours was a conversion from WO to PM, and OM was possibly not even considered).
