Today’s article is for small-medium-sized manufacturers whose manual scheduling methods are not doing the job.

Paper-based employee scheduling techniques are:

  • Tedious and time-consuming
  • Unable to quickly adjust to scheduling emergencies
  • Prone to errors
  • Not equipped to manage overtime
  • Hard to share with employees

In addition, staff members need to go through a supervisor or HR department to obtain schedule, time card, and PTO information and it is cumbersome for employees to submit and obtain shift change approvals.

Imagine if your production equipment was this outdated, ineffective, and inefficient.

These problems impact everyone in the business:

  • Owners overpay for labor, which reduces profit margins
  • Owners lose money due to high employee attrition
  • Owners are at risk of compliance penalties
  • Company misses production deadlines which threatens client contracts and business reputation
  • Employees work more overtime than they want to
  • Employees can’t access the schedule when they are not at work
  • Employees have to go through a manager to request shift changes
  • Short-handed shifts force employees on-the-clock to pick up the slack, which, in turn, often causes employee burnout
  • Scheduling managers spend so much time building schedules that they have little time for other vital tasks
  • Scheduling managers can’t easily accommodate employee shift preferences
