Multiple tasks feed a team similar to FIFO

[Dan Kazup]

Hello,

I have a project with two major phases, Design & Development. There are
different teams working on both and the development team(s) can start any
design task once it has been completed.

My question is is there a way to automatically adjust so that if the design
of one task takes longer the input to the development teams automatically
accomadates? Currently I'm doing this manually using resource names.



In theory it would go like this


design A feeds Dev A
desgin B feeds Dev B
design C feeds Dev c


But lets say desgin A is delayed and design B is ready first then I want the
resourcing to change to

design B feeds Dev a
design A feeds Dev b
design c feeds dev c

(dev teams can develop any design regardless of source (A,B,C)


I'm sure I'm just missing some simple concept here. I'm good with VBA and
most other project concepts...just hitting a road block on this one.

Hi Dan,

This sounds like a candidate for vba. Try posting on the
