Kronos

Organizations have traditionally relied upon a combination of manual, homegrown and automated systems to collect and calculate time and work data.  Many of these organizations have found that managing and integrating disparate labor management systems to meet the needs of a varied workforce that includes salaried and hourly employees has become a source of frustration.   And without access to real-time information, a supervisor might literally have to walk a plant floor and count employees.

Real-time information offered by automating these labor management systems allows supervisors to make proactive changes that can correct a staffing imbalance or highlight a performance problem. A supervisor can quickly deploy people to a department that is short staffed due to unexpected absences so that production stays on schedule.

Frontline labor management systems automate the processes that measure employee work-related data and convert it into valuable information that can be used to improve productivity.   As an extension of a company’s Oracle applications, frontline labor management suites include time and attendance, labor activities, leave management, employee scheduling and labor analytics.  They offer multiple benefits to the employee. Applications such as time and attendance, labor activities and leave management provide employees with a new level of consistency, accuracy and fairness. These systems support multiple interaction methods for employees – ID badges, telephones, PDA, desktop, or the Web.  Employees can perform self-service functions by having direct access to information about their hours and accrued vacation time, helping them manage their own time and attendance from anywhere in the enterprise.
