Going Live
There are several ways to go live with Empower Factory Productivity and Scheduling
- Input all Jobs for new and existing work and choose a particular date to start, or
- Initially get Employees to Clock In and Out and then, at a later stage, either
- Get the whole factory using Empower after a particular date, or
- Get selected Employees using Empower Time Track and gradually roll it out across the factory, or
- Get all Employees to work on all new work after a particular date.
You should give thought to the work currently in progress in your factory and when you should start to use Empower. In addition consider
- When it is appropriate to start entering new Jobs
- What to do with work in progress
- When the appropriate time is to have Employees start logging onto Tasks
- The approximate average Job lead time
- The average time to manufacture an average products
- The average weekly volume of Customer Jobs.
