The industry needs new models

Those who want to be successful on a long-term basis in the production industry sector are constantly challenged in these times of global competition. Companies do their utmost to optimise production-technical possibilities and workforce scheduling regarding

• demand orientation,
• flexibility,
• increasing productivity and
• cost reduction.

Modern companies can only achieve this with highly qualified employees, who are motivated and capable of regular learning, so that the company can develop.

Most varying shift models can be found in plants and production sites due to different production processes and working areas. Additionally, the planning of internal service providers is becoming more and more important. The spectrum extends from simple two-shift models to fully continuous employment.

Shift planners have to consider numerous aspects in their increasingly complex task, e.g.

•  changes in operating and working times,
•  planning of seasonal working time,
•  increasing flexibility and of course
•  costs.

More and more companies operating in the production sector are therefore banking on the future-oriented consultation and modern software solutions of XIMES.
