Time and Attendance System for the Manufacturing Industry
The manufacturing industry experiences rapid changes in supply and demand, often as a result of seasonal changes, special promotions or new product launches and changes in the economy.
To remain productive and profitable, organisations in manufacturing must effectively respond to these fluctuations by ensuring that their workforce matches the supply and demand situation. By achieving this balance, they can avoid problems related to overstaffing or understaffing such as increased labour costs, decreased productivity or poor product quality.
To meet these challenges a Time and Attendance System can help those in manufacturing get the most out of their workforce.
