Saving Processing Time
Before you can save
personnel time, you must identify what processes are really using time. These
processes may be revenue driven, or job, project and administrative tasks.
In most businesses,
educational, and governmental agencies, job production can be
easily measured by looking at the final product. Then by dividing it by the number
of personnel hours it takes to create plus materials you have a pretty good idea
of the costs. Various methods can then
be used to improve production and reduce costs.
Administrative processes that are non-production are the most difficult to
quantify. Computerization of record keeping continues to be one of the best
tools to analyze where the time really goes.
Many organizations still use labor
intensive mechanical means as pencils, pens, and punch clocks to tally personnel worked hours.
To then compile the
reports necessary to satisfy local, state, and federal reporting requirements
becomes a arduous task, consuming many hours of time lending itself to human
mistakes. Job and Project time worked must be manually listed on spread
sheets.
TimeLegal
and other similar PC based time management system offer easy tracking and
summation of personnel time data including Job and Project tracking. Depending
on the size of your personnel roster this can save thousands of hours and
dollars in processing time, and reduce payday frustrations levels to an
acceptable level.
