    I'm looking for an application, hopefully under Linux, to model an
    industrial process. If I knew what something like this was called, I
    could Google for it, but I know of no name for it.

    Extremely trivial example:
    Drill Press time 5 minutes - consumes D kwh of electricity. Leads to:
    CNC machine time 60 minutes - consumes C kwh of electricity. Leads to:
    Anealing oven time 30 minutes - Consumes A kwh of eletricity.

    I'd like to feed the app resources, characteristics of those resources,
    and then plug in production figures over a time period and have it tell
    me how many Drill Presses, etc I need to get that production, how much
    energy is consumed to add to cost of goods, etc.

    Largely this is a complex scheduling problem. The app should also
    highlight resource shortages to say that certain things are impossible
    due to not enough whatever, and lay out a time line for when things need
    to happen.

    Any one know what this might be called, and where I might find such an app?
