Small and Medium Scale Manufacturers and Engineers throughout Australia and New Zealand are currently broken into 4 Groups, as to how they manage and attempt to manage their Labour

1  Those who don’t track their staff times on Jobs at all. This is negligent management of their core business, which is Labour

2  Those who track their staff times on Jobs using manual time sheets. This is 100 plus year old system providing poor reporting and does not make individual staff time on jobs performance transparent and in any way accountable

3  Electronic time recording of individual staff on Jobs. This is little better than manual time sheets, above

4  Empower Workshop Productivity & Scheduling Software or equivalent is the complete labour management Software, developed solely and specifically for manufacturing and engineering that delivers maximum reductions in Job times and all forms of Downtime. Empower achieves this through workshop staff engagement, 50 inch TV screens in office and workshop floor maximising individual workshop staff transparency and accountability.
