Many manufacturing industry leaders have successfully adopted process improvement philosophies such as Lean and/or Six Sigma to streamline, measure and monitor their supply chain and internal manufacturing processes. Optimizing labor represents the next critical area in strategic management. Enterprise-wide Workforce Management allows organizations to reduce labor costs, increase productivity and more accurately report labor distribution while addressing such current manufacturing challenges as globally dispersed workforces, shortage of skilled workers, and demand for shorter production time frames.
Join us as we explore how manufacturers can employ workforce management to their competitive advantage. Specific areas of focus will include:
- benefits of an enterprise deployment in the manufacturing environment
- calculating the ROI and establishing project KPIs
- reducing deployment timelines and cost through policy and practice optimization
- and leveraging WFM software functionality for shop floor management
