I've used that program before and the only thing it does it help you with manufacturing.. at least that's what I used it for I never really saw any other things it could do with it. that's it, just manufacturing.

example you want to make like 4 spaceships or 3 computers and you cannot calculate everything or you are to lazy then you enter
I want; space ship
total amount; 4

and then bip bop bup it calculates all the materials you need and how long it will take. you click off all the materials/items you already have and you can calculate again to get a estimate of the new time/list.

That's all it does.
