Manufacturing Scheduling Consultants · Michigan, USA · Since 1991
Production Scheduling Consulting & APS Implementation
We help manufacturers replace spreadsheet chaos with a live finite-capacity schedule — in 5 days, not 5 months. Our consultants have implemented production scheduling at 1,000+ facilities including GE, Cummins, and BAE Systems.
The 5-Day Implementation Framework
Most APS implementations take 6–18 months. Ours take 5 days. Here is exactly how.
Day 1
Data Import
Import your work centers, routings, work orders, and shift calendars. We do the heavy lifting — you correct edge cases.
Day 2
Routing Build
Convert your paper routings or ERP flat BOMs into real multi-step RMDB routings with setup times and alternate resources.
Day 3
First Schedule
Run your first finite-capacity schedule. See every bottleneck, every overload, every at-risk due date — on screen, not on paper.
Day 4
ERP Integration
Wire RMDB to your ERP (QuickBooks, Sage, Epicor, JobBOSS, SAP, or any system) for live two-way data sync.
Day 5
Go Live
Your schedulers run the real production floor from RMDB. We stay on-site for the first live reschedule.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can implementation really take only 5 days?
Because we have done it 1,000+ times and know exactly what data you need and in what order. Most of the time in a long implementation is wasted on requirements gathering for features you will never use, data cleanup for fields the scheduler does not need, and committee meetings. We skip all of that and go straight to a live schedule.
Do you work with our existing ERP?
Yes. RMDB integrates with QuickBooks, Sage, Microsoft Dynamics, Epicor, JobBOSS, SAP, NetSuite, Global Shop Solutions, E2 ShopTech, and virtually any other ERP via CSV import or direct database connection. You keep your ERP for accounting and inventory — we add the scheduling layer on top.
What if we are still scheduling in Excel?
Most of our customers come from Excel. We audit your spreadsheet, understand your scheduling logic, and migrate it into RMDB — including your priority rules, shift calendars, and work center definitions. Most Excel-to-RMDB migrations complete within the 5-day framework.
Do you offer ongoing support after implementation?
Yes. Annual support contracts include phone and email support, software updates, and access to our scheduling consultants for questions that come up as your shop evolves. Support is optional — the software works without it — but most customers renew.
Where are you located? Do you do remote implementations?
We are headquartered in Michigan. We do on-site implementations across the US and Canada, and remote implementations for customers where travel is impractical. Remote implementations work well when your team is technically comfortable; on-site is better for shops implementing scheduling software for the first time.
