Business Solutions with [OPA]

Asking the right questions
to identify problems

A checklist with real practice questions offers a quick opportunity to identify problem areas in your company and to find suitable solutions:

• Are you planning changes in your operating hours (opening hours, machine operation times, service levels, working processes) and therefore need to schedule in new employees? Are different numbers of employees needed for different times of the day?
• Do you have to optimise working times because the workload has changed? Would you like to be able to react better to seasonal changes in requirement or changing demands?
• Would you like to get short-term absences under control?
• Do complex qualification structures within your planning cause you a headache?
• Is the increasing number of part-time contracts and individual requests making your planning-life miserable?
• Do you want to know to what extent bank holidays, vacation etc. influence your service hours and personnel cover?

Answers that lead to solutions

The Operating Hours Assistant 3.5 can help you provide the correct answers to these questions to meet your targets:

• Better personnel allocation or reduced personnel requirement
• Reduction of low cover situations to avoid problems in quality and reduction of business/production volume
• Avoidance of workload peaks
• Optimised shift times (normal working time/stand-by)
• Pre-check to evaluate if you need to expect problems in the later shift planning

[OPA] carries out many of the daunting calculations you need to improve your working time management. You can keep a clear head to choose the optimum working time model and concentrate on your company.
