Optimal workforce scheduling with WFM
Efficient resource management is a decisive factor for the success of companies, especially in service centers. In times of increasing competition and rising costs, it is essential to find ways to optimize costs while maintaining or even improving service quality. A proven method to achieve this goal is the implementation of an effective #WorkforceManagementSystem (#WFM), which helps companies to optimally deploy their workforce and optimize operational processes.
Typical challenges in service centers and possible solutions:
- Workforce planning: By using WFM software, companies can forecast their employee requirements more precisely and plan accordingly. This minimizes over- or understaffing and helps to reduce personnel costs.
- Optimization of working hours: WFM systems enable efficient organization of working time models such as shift work, part-time or flexible working hours. This enables companies to reduce overtime and optimize the workload of their employees.
- Real-time monitoring and control: By monitoring workflows in real time, companies can react quickly to changes and adjust resources as required. This helps to avoid bottlenecks and increase productivity.
- Automation of processes: Automating recurring tasks such as time recording, vacation planning and shift planning reduces administrative work and allows employees to focus on value-adding activities.
opcyc’s WFM suite masters these challenges with its essential functions such as workforce planning and optimization, time recording, shift planning and management, real-time monitoring and control, as well as reporting and analysis.
