Scheduling, particularly in organizations working in shifts, is a complex process that affects productivity, performance, employee satisfaction, and profitability. It is therefore important to keep a tight control over discrepancies between planning and execution.
With Synerion Scheduling you can facilitate planning, setup, and monitoring of schedules to ensure adequate work coverage, meeting of staffing requirements, and prevention of over- or under-staffing.
Controlling Costs and Deviations
Synerion’s scheduling system enables the planning and setup of schedules based on recurring patterns. Taking into account the workload, labour laws, and employment agreements, schedules can be set up on a weekly, monthly, or periodic basis, to provide a current view of the number of work hours planned, and their cost for the planned period.
Management reports allow identification and tracking of deviations from plan, as well as schedule management with respect to attendance, absences, overtime, and labour costs. Synchronization between the schedule and actual work performed is used to calculate the payroll correctly, based on actual attendance, thus avoiding excess payments to achieve significant savings.
