Labour

For manufacturers who plan labour line by line, across one plant or an estate.

Operations directors see the hours and the agency spend, planners size the order, and supervisors know who to move and when.

One plan, read at three levels.

Operations directors

Standard against actual hours, overrun, agency spend and how often managers follow the plan, by week and by area.

  • Each plant on its own, or the estate together
  • The plan by day, site, area and hour, fed to Power BI

Labour planners

The heads each area needs every quarter hour against the team on shift, and the agency order sized to the gap.

  • The same forecast always gives the same plan
  • One switch compares it with the plan where nobody moves

Shift supervisors

The moves to call in time order: who goes from which line to which, with cross-site moves marked.

  • Moves only between areas a person is trained for
  • Skills gaps visible before they become an agency bill
