Labor Tracking

Managing shop floor labor efficiently is a critical component of lean manufacturing practices. Radley Labor Tracking streamlines labor entry by reducing the time and effort of data entry required to apply time to production jobs within the business application. Production data is validated on-line, and available for real-time queries, efficiency reports, and standard vs. actual cost analysis.

Production personnel can quickly enter labor and/or part completion data and/or back-flush materials as consumed. Additional prompts for pieces completed, scrapped, held, etc., are also available. Automatic operation starts & stops are triggered by preceding steps within the operational sequence. Bar code scans and/or machine control devices can also generate production transactions, and automate WIP movement through the production process.

Your business system is automatically updated with labor hours, machine hours, completed and scrapped quantities and manufacturing completions. (If Time & Attendance is implemented, both direct and indirect labor hours can be reconciled against payroll hours.) For added security, supervisor review and approval can be required for all labor transactions.

Complete transaction history and exception reporting capabilities are standard.
