Tight integration between the Scheduling and Planning solutions gives an organizations management the liberty to focus on the weekly work shift down to the individual work shift. This comprehensive module enables your organization to manage all levels of maintenance or repairs occurring in a given systems work center(s).
Today’s lean organizations can visualize any work on a specific asset(s) while forcing a logical and efficient plan to completion. The Asset Status helps to address issues instantly eliminating delays while ensuring the highest quality work is being performed. This is accomplished by re-base lining work which maximizes resources and minimizes waste ensuring a Lean operation.
As work accumulates, Work Queues allow non-lead personnel and management to communicate electronically while integrating with the shop clock. This solution gives organizations the authority to accept or reject work hours submitted increasing accountability and reducing the abuse of time. In addition, the Shift Calendar was applied to the Set-Up portion of EM360 to reduce constantly changing shift schedules and to apply tighter control on the scheduling.
