How Agile is your Labor Reporting?

Looking for a competitive advantage?  Start by removing the gap between strategy and execution. 

The planning / reporting cycle of most companies often looks the same:

• Scheduling of personnel happens weekly

• Labor productivity is periodically throughout the shift

• Overtime is approved toward the end of the shift, if needed

• Financials are compiled at the end of the month after closing

• Financial results are available often weeks after closing the month

In best-in-class operations, the planning / reporting cycle is agile:

• Scheduling of personnel happens weekly and is refined daily through shift planning

• Productivity is tracked in real-time throughout the shift

• Output trends project overtime requirements prior to the shift starting

• Before each shift, supervisors understand the impact of their shift plan in terms of labor costs and whether they are within expected productivity and budget goals

• Financial results are available daily and aggregated weekly, monthly, and quarterly, bringing cost-per-case front and center.
