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

Paper-based employee scheduling techniques are:

  • Tedious and inefficient
  • Unable to quickly react to scheduling emergencies
  • Prone to errors
  • Not equipped to manage overtime
  • Difficult to share with employees

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

Imagine if your production equipment was this outdated, ineffective, and inefficient.

These problems harm everyone in the organization:

  • Owners overpay for labor, which reduces profit margins
  • Owners lose money due to poor employee retention
  • Owners are in jeopardy of compliance infractions
  • Company misses production deadlines which threatens client contracts and business reputation
  • Employees work more overtime than they want to
  • Workers can’t monitor the schedule when they are not at work
  • Workers have to go through a manager to request shift changes
  • Short-handed shifts force team members on-the-clock to pick up the slack, which, in turn, often leads to 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 schedule requests
