Optimize Workforce Utilization with Comprehensive, Integrated Time and Labor Management
Allocating labor correctly to products, work orders and tasks is fundamental to achieving better production per employee, better quality and improved financial performance. This is especially true when manufacturing complex products with a significant skilled labor component. The challenge is compounded by the numerous rule-based work standards and regulations a production manager must comply with when devising production schedules.
Elements of a comprehensive time and labor management solution include:
Coordination – Make decisions on task allocation and work order scheduling based on priorities and work force availability.
Classification – Classify hours as regular time, overtime, and double time, enforcing attendance policies, tracking time-off balances and automating overtime offers.
Compliance – Ensure compliance with complex regulations including Sarbanes-Oxley Act, FMLA, FLSA, DCAA and union rules.
Collection – Capture accurate time and attendance data by workcell, line and plant to reflect current production activities.
Cost Allocation – Correctly assign labor costs to job orders, purchase orders and specific products as required for job-costing, billing, financial and performance monitoring.
Comparison – Gain real-time analytical insight into the productivity and performance of enterprise's work force, or that of a plant, or make shift by shift comparisons.
Correction – Continuously measuring workforce productivity for waste reduction and continuous improvement.
Communicating – Allow for seamless exchange of time and attendance data with existing ERP, HR, payroll and other enterprise systems that require the data.
