Labor Management Systems

Labor resources are a significant expense across supply chains and require an ongoing focus on optimization to drive increases in productivity and efficiency. But, when it comes to labor management and optimization, you can’t manage what you don’t measure.

Enter labor management systems. When properly integrated across your supply chain, an optimized labor management system can provide critical data and insights to help track productivity and performance across teams, facilities and profit centers. The right solution will deliver the information you need to shape critical decisions surrounding operational changes and evolutions.

At St. Onge, our approach considers the big picture, offering end-to-end support to help ensure staffing and labor utilization are dialed in. We help determine what to measure and manage inside a labor management system; guide you through selecting the solutions right for your size, industry and how you work; and support you through evaluation and selection, procurement, configuration, implementation and rollout.

Having the right labor management system in place optimized to your individual supply chain needs can offer tremendous benefits including:

• Creation of labor standards for measuring productivity
• Enhanced manpower planning and scheduling
• Reduced overtime and dependency on temporary labor
• Increased consistency and optimal utilization of equipment
• Improved customer service

In addition to the bottom line goals, companies who successfully integrate labor management systems often experience gain in employee motivation and communication through delivery of clearer goals and feedback based on data and analytics tracked by the system.
