Applications
Automated Scheduling of Employees
When there is multiple shift work and large plant activity, strict management of employee schedules is necessary to ensure consistent and appropriate staff levels. The scheduling process is automated so that employees who need a substitute and supervisors who need extra coverage can all be managed. An automated system manages the scheduling requirements, notifies the appropriate parties of the business needs, tracks the responses, pages the correct supervisory personnel and updates the scheduling system. This application helps management staff accurately and avoids errors from unintentional human error.
