Production Scheduling for Book Publishers

When I walk into a publisher, the most frequent question is what production management tools are available for publishers.

The book publishing specific tools - such as those offered by Klopotek for publishers with sales over $30M USD, Vista or Quality Solutions are often too expensive or hard to customize.

The one tool that small and mid-sized publishers use most often is FileMaker. FileMaker is an affordable database program designed for ease of use and the software that we recommend to small and mid-sized publishers looking for a solution that they can customize to meet their needs.

At http://www.filemaker.com/solutions/customers/industry/printing_publishing.html you can find stories about publishers that use FileMaker.

These include; Harvard University Press (a scholarly and trade publisher), Rebus (a medical publisher), and Holt, Rinehart and Winston (a text book publisher) .
