ScheduleSoft today announced the addition of Finite Scheduling to their workforce scheduling software. Along with this years earlier release of Fractional Demands and Advanced Volunteering the new feature strengthens ScheduleSofts unique off-the-shelf capabilities for complex and continuous Food and CPG manufacturing environments.
The Finite Scheduling feature directly leverages production planning data and labor standards to generate an optimized workforce schedule. Organizations like manufacturers, who produce a large number of products, can now quickly and accurately prepare employee schedules based on labor standards while actively managing dynamic production demands. Using the new feature, schedule changes caused by events like seasonal fluctuations or even an occurrence as common as product changeovers, can be easily managed.
ScheduleSoft continues to differentiate itself as a leader in workforce scheduling for manufacturing, said Brian Koniuk, Principal at The Hackett Group, Inc., a leading global strategic business advisory consulting firm. Their workforce scheduling solution is unique in the way it allows organizations to directly apply their core business strategy and practices to their labor deployment. Koniuk continued, The ScheduleSoft solution goes beyond roster management and supports key business metrics like improved asset utilization, inventory reduction and improved product costing.
In the past 12 months, we have met with almost every one of the top 50 food manufacturers. We understand their business drivers and our product differentiation reflects that, said Gregory Flessas, ScheduleSoft CEO. Flessas continued, The pace at which retailers and consumers are driving changes in production schedules is causing these manufacturers to take a more active approach to managing labor. Using ScheduleSoft, customers can be confident they always have the right labor deployed for they are being asked to produced. In a large, complex production facility, thats a huge competitive differentiator that within the next five years I believe will become a standard part of any factory shop floor.
