Why Most Production Scheduling Falls Short
Most manufacturers struggle with production scheduling because their tools were not built for the complexity of real manufacturing. ERP scheduling modules lack finite capacity awareness. Spreadsheets break under volume. The result: unrealistic promises, late deliveries, and wasted capacity.
- ERP systems that schedule to infinite capacity — ignoring real constraints
- Spreadsheet-based scheduling that cannot scale beyond a few dozen jobs
- No visibility into actual labor, machine, and material availability
- Unrealistic customer promise dates leading to chronic late deliveries
- Scheduling disconnected from purchasing, inventory, and costing
- Inability to run what-if scenarios before committing to delivery dates
RMDB: Production Scheduling Built for Real Manufacturing
Resource Manager DB (RMDB) is production scheduling software that handles the full complexity of manufacturing — finite capacity across machines, labor, materials, and tooling, simultaneously. It works standalone or as a powerful scheduling add-on to any ERP system, using your existing data with no migration required.
- True finite capacity scheduling across all resource types
- What-if scenario analysis before committing to delivery dates
- MRP with Bills of Materials and inventory management
- Labor, machine, and material scheduling simultaneously
- ERP integration (SAP, Oracle, Epicor, Fourth Shift, Macola)
- Forward and reverse scheduling with priority management
- Interactive Gantt charts with drag-and-drop via EDGEBI
- Multi-location scheduling across 30+ sites
- Costing and estimating tied to actual production schedules
- Sub-assembly scheduling up to 10 levels deep
“Over the past several years, RMDB has successfully helped our repair network to improve the Shipping On-Time accuracy from 30% to over 90%. Additionally, we have improved our overall shop cycle time by several days.”

How RMDB Production Scheduling Works
Import Your Data
RMDB works with your existing data — Excel, CSV, or direct database connections. No reformatting, no data migration. Import BOMs, routings, workcenters, and open orders from your ERP.
Schedule to Finite Capacity
RMDB schedules against real constraints — machine capacity, labor availability, material on-hand, and tooling. Forward or reverse scheduling with priority management gives you realistic dates.
Optimize and Deliver
Run what-if scenarios, identify bottlenecks, and fine-tune your schedule. Export updated dates back to your ERP. Use EDGEBI for drag-and-drop Gantt chart adjustments and real-time visibility.
