Additional Function Personnel Planning: In Detail

In the personnel availability planning, you can define personnel pools and manage the presence and absence of individual employees or employee groups based on their shift schedules. You can also include absences due to vacation or sick leave. The result is an exact and clear mapping of the actual capacity for each individual shift. Detailed Scheduling provides you with the estimated personnel requirements as a standard value for the individual resource groups per shift. From the overlap of the two values you can immediately see whether the personnel capacity is sufficient to successfully process all scheduled orders in each individual area as well as the respective shifts, or whether you need to adjust measures. If incentive and premium wages are relevant to you, you can also create interfaces to the corresponding payroll accounting system.

With Personnel Planning, an additional function to personnel availability planning, you can specify the personnel for a workplace without significant master data maintenance efforts. All other resources that are used in standard detailed scheduling are not considered here. This offers you considerable advantages if you are already planning your production in an ERP system or if the work processes hardly vary. Manufacturing similar products on a single production line is a good example: Since it can be assumed that the production process for an article is always the same, the primary concern is to ensure the availability of qualified personnel at each line segment. By means of stored information such as qualification, including range of validity and shift availability, personnel scheduling can automatically assign your employees.

In combination with the MES additional function Personnel Time Recording, you can further increase your benefits of Personnel Planning. For example, you can consider individual personnel costs in your post calculation. In connection with individual working hours and performance-linked wages, an interface to an incentive and bonus wage accounting system allows you to set the course for a precise and smooth digital acquisition – also at the terminal (manually or RFID).
