Staff Planning

• Your employees are your most important resource
• Plan staffing in production 
• Take into account different shift arrangements, holidays and absences
• Time tracking, a part of direct MES
• Efficiently change staffing needs
• Competency matrix also for your employees

When you must ensure proper staffing and know who is available for each workstation, direct MES's Staff Planning is fully integrated with the Time Tracking system direct 24.

Good planning and allocating tasks to your employees are the keys to efficient and optimal utilisation of your resources. With the time tracking system direct 24 , the production planner controls available resources to staff their workstations.

direct 24 is a market-leading solution for production and industry, tightly integrated into the direct platform with synergies like the competency matrix for each employee and availability for staffing planning concerning day and week plans. direct 24 supports all standard registration and follow-up needs for employees and managers, as well as handling time, payroll, and absence.

When the production planner performs planning, the system suggests staffing based on the competency matrix on product, operation, machine, and availability for when the employee is at work.

direct 24 is available via its terminals, tracking via APP, tracking on the web, and follow-up for approval for payroll, absence management, and a range of other smart features. AMS has helped customers with time tracking since 1991.

Plan staffing of workstations and machines:

• Ensure necessary staffing
• Maintain continuous operation and production

We know your employees have different competencies and certifications on various machines, equipment, operations, and product knowledge. With the competence matrix in direct MES you get the tool that helps you ensure access to the right competence in the right place.

Working hours and availability are gathered from direct 24:

• Shift arrangement, day and week plan
• Holidays and absences
• Seamless change of working hours against payroll

If you make the most of our direct platform, you use time registration from direct 24. You have complete control over your employees' shift arrangements through different day and week plans, holidays, and absences. Your employees will, therefore, be available for the production planner with exact working hours for staffing their production.
