Job Shop Scheduling Software That Actually Works
Stop firefighting. Start planning. Purpose-built finite capacity scheduling for high-mix, low-volume manufacturers who need realistic schedules — not theoretical ones.
Common Job Shop Scheduling Challenges
Job shops face unique scheduling complexities that generic ERP systems simply cannot handle. Every order may follow a different routing, demand is unpredictable, and resources are shared across dozens of active jobs. Sound familiar?
- Volatile order mix with constantly changing priorities
- Manual scheduling consuming 40+ hours per week
- Late deliveries damaging customer relationships
- No visibility into true capacity constraints
- Inability to answer "what if" questions about new orders
- Existing ERP lacks realistic finite capacity scheduling
How RMDB Solves Job Shop Scheduling
Resource Manager DB (RMDB) was built for the reality of job shop manufacturing. It considers all constraints simultaneously — machines, labor, materials, and tooling — to create schedules that actually work on the shop floor.
- True finite capacity scheduling across all resources
- What-if scenario analysis to evaluate new orders before committing
- Drag-and-drop visual scheduling with EDGEBI Gantt charts
- Flexible Bill-of-Resources adapts to your unique routings
- Mixed forward and reverse scheduling modes
- Direct ERP integration via Excel, CSV, or ODBC
- Multi-constraint planning (labor + machines + materials)
- Real-time capacity visibility to prevent overbooking
