Workforce Scheduling Software for Manufacturing

As manufacturing facilities face increasing global pressure, reducing overall labor expenditures is an important component of a competitive strategy. While most manufacturing facilities use automated solutions such as HR, Payroll and Time and Attendance, employee scheduling in many plants has remained a manual process. The Strategic Workforce Scheduler can help manufacturing companies to lower labor costs, improve operations and increase profitability.

Some of the functions our workforce scheduling software can automate include:

• Automation of employee rotations into the future
• Automation of the vacation bidding process
• Automation of the shift bidding process
• Implementation of overtime equalization rules

As the work or union regulations impacting employee scheduling change every few years, it is important that the workforce scheduling tool in place be easy to modify. The Strategic Workforce Scheduler is flexible enough to implement multiple sets of rules within a single installation. In fact, one of our customers has eight, different unions in spite of only having a little over a thousand employees. All of the specific rules can be managed through drop-down lists, check-boxes and text fields, making the workforce scheduling software flexible and easy to use, yet extremely powerful at the same time.
