"suppose to be": means "it should" or "it usually will" happen, but it implies that sometimes it doesn't happen or this particular time it may not be the case.
Examples:
"The train is supposed to arrive on time, but today it's late"
"I am suppose to be having lunch with her today, but I think she will cancel"
"She is supposed to do her homework before dinner, but that rarely happens"
"Susan is supposed to be at work until 5 pm, but she might come home early"
--
"should be" : this suggests there is some sort of duty or obligation to do something, or it can be used when you are hypothesizing (guessing) about where you think someone or something is (or will be in the future).
Examples:
"I should be going, it's getting quite late"
"He should be at dinner party this evening"
"It's before 5 pm, so he should still be at work"
"You should be ready for me to pick you up at 5 pm"
--
"Must be" : indicates a stronger duty or obligation to do something, or it can be used when you are confidently asserting where you think someone or something is (or will be in the future).
"Since it's not 5 pm yet, he must be still at work"
"I haven't seen him in a while, he must be upstairs"
"David must be at the theater like he said he would be"
"You must be at the train station by 5 pm or you will be late"
--
"Must have" : can be used to hypothesize (guess) why something happened (or didn't happen) in the past.
Example Conversations:
A: "Why is David late?"
B: "He must have got stuck in traffic"
~
A: "Where is David?"
B: "I don't see him, he must have gone to the store"
