WorkForce Director

Whats important....
When there are more tasks to perform than workers to perform them, it is critical that the available workers are focused on the tasks that are of highest value (i.e., priority) to the organization. Radleys WorkForce Director accelerates the productivity gains achieved with Radleys Automated Data Collection solutions by directing your workforce, via mobile or desktop computers, to perform tasks based on predetermined priorities.

You make the rules...
WorkForce Directors watch dog monitors a customer-defined set of business rules, key performance indicators, drop directories, inventory levels, schedules, etc., to identify new task requirements. As tasks are generated they are deposited into a task pool, and then, based on priority, operator capabilities, work zones, authorization/security level and equipment requirements, are distributed from the pool to the appropriate worker.

Use what you have...
Most ERP or distribution applications generate picklists for shipments or order fulfillment. These picklists can be dropped on to the WorkForce Director that then distributes them to the appropriate workers. These workers are then shown on their scanning device the appropriate automated data collection picking transaction (wave pick, distributed pick, etc.).

WorkForce Director can also accept and distribute many other tasks from your ERP including replenishment, cycle counts, and inventory consolidation.

Real-time communication...
Manual tasks can be generated by floor personnel from a mobile device. For example, lets say a line-side inventory location needs replenishment. The operator accesses the replenishment transaction on a mobile scanner or workstation and scans the inventory location label (or Kanban card). The WorkForce Director will then generate a replenishment task to the appropriate personnel, first directing them to the inventory location where the required items reside, and
then to the location that needs to be replenished.

Productivity
Todays manufacturers are competing with cheaper labor and lower costs. Today, as never before, we are being challenged to be more productive, to do more with less. However, increasing productivity involves so much more - it means using all of your resources wisely and efficiently.
