New Update

The Problem: The tractor-producing plant was running three shifts for their production. The shift officer has to deploy the workmen on the stages of the production line at the start of every shift manually. However, there were some issues. Manual deployment of manpower by the shift officer in each shift was a pain. It is impossible for the shift officer to remember the skills of every workman since there are about 200 workmen in every shift, etc.

The Solution: They designed and developed a software to deploy the workman as per his skill set, total absenteeism and shift rotation. This application maps the workmen directly to the production stage at the time of attendance punching at the gate while entering the plant. So, the workman directly reaches the stage where he has to work, thus eliminating all the above-mentioned pain areas.

The Result: Auto rotation & deployment of person as per the skill now happens automatically. The shift officer need not remember the skillset of each workman. Skilled manpower is available on critical stages. No crowd accumulates in front of the shift officer. There is a saving of about 10 minutes per shift. If they work for 3 shifts a day and 26 days a month, then they will be saving 780 minutes a month, etc.
