Project Sample: Labor Planning and Reporting

A large manufacturing firm needed a better way to plan and track their labor requirements.  At the beginning of the project, they were using numerous Excel spreadsheets, with no historical abilities and limited ability to track future labor needs.

We selected Microsoft Access -- a tool with which they were already comfortable -- to re-create their spreadsheet entry page and then to produce the detailed historical reports and future planning reports that they needed to track their labor pool needs.
