Solutions: |
These challenges can be solved by planning and optimization solutions, which will bring you: - reduction of the required work hours in the primary process (such as security officers in a security organization or doctors and nurses in a hospital) by:
- reducing temporary hiring,
- reducing wage costs.

|
Benefits: |
Our experience is that wage savings of 2% to 3% is realistic.
Reduction of the required work hours in the secondary process: - for planners,
- for administrative operations (salary processing, HRM, communication on rosters and roster changes to and with staff),
major savings in the administrative processes occur frequently. - making quality improvements by doing more work in the same hours (time gains are exchanged for labour), resulting in: higher productivity
