SHIFT PLANNING IN MANUFACTURING

Do you want to deploy your personnel according to demand? WorkforcePlus supports you in shift planning. Sales-related fluctuations in manufacturing also cause fluctuations in personnel requirements. Furthermore, it can be difficult to find qualified employees who are enthusiastic about shift work. Collective bargaining agreements allow employees to take temporary reductions in workload and working time models based on their stage in life. Excel, simple shift planning tools, and human resource management systems reach their limits when it comes to these demanding tasks. WorkforcePlus was developed precisely for these tasks.

OPTIMIZED SHIFT PLANS

Fluctuations in staffing requirements, seasonality, or short-term additional needs can demand a lot from your employees if your working-time system is not designed for flexibility. WorkforcePlus ...

digitizes your workforce management processes,
ensures demand-oriented personnel availability based on manufacturing programs,
takes into account collective and company agreements and various shift planning policies,
supports capacity balancing between manufacturing areas,
has interfaces to common human resource management systems (e.g. SAP) and
can be integrated with your manufacturing planning (e.g. the Add*ONE simultaneous planning from INFORM).

EMPLOYEE QUALIFICATIONS

WorkforcePlus enables you to digitally record qualifications in qualification matrices. Planning is then based on employee’s qualifications. You can also enter target staffing levels based on qualifications. You can transfer employee’s qualifications from other systems (e.g. HR systems) or maintain them in the system itself.

WORKPLACE PLANNING

Manufacturing planning and personnel scheduling can assign employees to activities and work areas in the system. In this way, you ensure that the required work areas are occupied each day. Workplace planning is fully integrated with the other workforce planning processes.

DIGITAL ASSIGNMENT OF ADDITIONAL SHIFTS

Customer orders or malfunctions in the manufacturing process sometimes require additional shifts on short notice. The necessary coordination with employees can be time-consuming if it is not done digitally. WorkforcePlus makes rule-based staffing suggestions for you. Your employees accept or reject overtime requests in the mobile employee portal. The status of the overtime request, including works council approvals, is visible in the system at all times.

INTEGRATED TIME MANAGEMENT

The system can be operated with integrated time management. Your employees can record working times on the move via WorkforcePlus or via time recording terminals. You can manage working time and long-term accounts in the system and take them into account when planning. Overtime and bonuses can be recorded in the system and processed digitally. WorkforcePlus has interfaces to all common payroll systems (e.g. SAP).
