THE KEY POINTS FOR THE SUCCESS OF YOUR SCHEDULE OPTIMISATION PROJECT

Schedule optimisation requires a user-friendly solution tailored to your business.

The solution has to fit your scheduling strategy based on your production or service constraints. And it must be easy for your planners to use.
  • Workforce scheduling constraints are not the same across different sectors, such as distribution, industry or services.
  • The scheduling software must factor in workforce issues based on the sector and handle various working patterns (teams, shifts, flexitime, etc) and a level of detail ranging from minutes to full days.
  • It must be able to process complex factors such as occupational health risks, MSD (musculoskeletal disorders), multi-session or multi-activity situations.
  • The ability to configure individual constraints and employee preferences is a key factor for success.
  • Finally, switching from manual or Excel planning to automatic scheduling can disrupt practices in the company. So it’s important to manage the change and accompany planners, managers, and employees.
