Labor Management
In
distribution, manufacturing and third-party logistics
operations, the cost of labor is typically the largest ongoing
expense that a company incurs. But measuring the productivity
and efficiency of the workforce is often last on the list of an
enterprise implementation. There are many reasons for this: concerns over cost, union bylaws, safety,
and the worker's fear of being monitored.
As you can imagine, a successful
implementation of Labor Management is much more complex than
simply installing a software module. It’s about managing the
expectations of the people that comprise the workforce,
from the shop floor, to middle management, all the way up to the
executive level. At ASC, our Professional Services Team
understands that overcoming the human fears and concerns, and
instilling pride in the workforce is key to success. In our
experience, proper management of workforce expectations can
actually improve safety, provide a fair and impartial method of
measuring employee performance for unions, and promote work
pride in employees, all while reducing labor costs and offering
companies a very good return on their investment.
The ASCTrac family of products offers
many different levels of Labor Management capabilities. The core
WMS starts with a simple foundation of time stamped user
transactions, allowing managers to gauge who is doing what and
for how long. Adding the optional Labor Performance and
Statistics Module enables a manager and/or administrator to
enter time standards for each labor task and each user’s daily
efficiency is calculated by comparing actual time versus the
labor standard. We also offer Labor Costing modules for
manufacturing and third-party logistics operations which
calculate the cost of labor for a given work order or 3PL
customer.

The Bottom Line:

produce? ASC software can help you obtain these answers in a cost
effective, timely manner.
