In today’s business climate, one must plan for uncertainty, for the reality that consumer interests will shift, and with it so will the marketplace. Fortunately, an enterprise-level solution is available for large and small businesses, in the form of Shop Floor Data Capture. The knowledge provided by Shop Floor Data Capture can help to keep business running “lean” by monitoring worker productivity. It can also provide real-time data on the goings-on and profitability of one’s business in a dynamic and ever-changing business climate.
Shop Floor Data Capture: Planning for Tomorrow Today
By providing data on exactly what employees are doing with their time, Shop Floor Data Capture can provide day-to-day snapshots of the health of one’s business. What workers on the assembly line are providing most value by the hour? How does Applied Science measure up to R&D? How does the sales desk measure up to the help desk? By providing realistic and detailed data, Shop Floor Data Capture can help managers and executives to stay ahead of the curve and spot problem areas before they become a problem. As employees use swipe cards to record precisely what they are doing with their time, a wealth of possibilities unfold.
Shop Floor Data Capture: Knowing the Right Job is Done
Another facet of staying ahead of the curve, and another layer to keeping employees on target with their productivity, is making sure that jobs are profitable. This is especially true for contractors, who have an ongoing need to bid for contracts that will not only win but earn an optimal profit once completed. Shop Floor Data Capture can provide minute-by-minute data on employee productivity and on those tasks which take up most of their time. This means knowing ahead of time how many workers will be needed to get the job done. It also means knowing what jobs and tasks within those jobs yield the greatest benefit in terms of profit.
