WfM UK Making Timesheets Digital

Have you thought about automating Timesheet Data? 2024 is the time to change...

Schedule / Rota / Roster Optimisation sounds scientific but what does it actually mean and how would it benefit you?

Google Says: “the action of making the best or most effective use of a situation or resource”

The Collins Dictionary Says: "To optimise a plan, system, or machine means to arrange or design it so that it operates as smoothly and efficiently as possible”

So to put that into plain English and translate it to your world, its means, you have a team of  resources and you need to ensure they work as effectively, efficiently and smoothly as possible.

One of companies biggest expenses and assets are their people (Resources) they need to ensure they are getting the best value from that biggest asset. In turn providing the biggest return possible on that expensive reoccurring outlay!

A lot of our work is to do with A&O, in previous years the terms A&U were the buzz words as companies had to ensure they got the biggest value out of their Availability and Utilisation.  

That is still valid, but you will only achieve that to its fullest potential if you go strategically back a step. A&U is based on how you can utilise the base requirements to their full potential.

A&O Analysis & Optimisation actually analyses the base requirements and Optimises the base before it is utilised. Once it is in force the A&U element kicks in. Over the years we have completed hundreds of these actions and until this kind of work is carried out, companies struggle to realise the benefits of true Utilisation.

Just remember O is before U and U may not be effective with-out O so the question is, is the way forward O&U? Something we are going to have to contemplate for the future.

Our team are experts in this. Please contact us to learn more.
