OPTIMISATION POTENTIAL THROUGH PRODUCTION DATA MANAGEMENT For manufacturing companies, the availability of IT support in the planning, management and control of production processes opens up significant potentials for improvement and added values. ZEUS® PDC acts as link between ERP systems and shop floor data capture. Order data from ERP systems are visualised and managed in ZEUS® PDC and subsequently reported back (to ERP) including the associated time values. The ZEUS® PDC module reliably controls and monitors the collection of operational data at the various recording points and the respective recording terminals deployed. The current time values required for the evaluation of the collected data are automatically made available by ZEUS® Time & Attendance. As a result, productive working times as well as setup, non-productive and breakdown times per order and operation are available for subsequent analyses in ZEUS® PDC and the ERP system. This way, incomplete and obsolete data deriving from conventional data acquisition is automatically updated and significantly improved. The availability of an up-to-date, accurate and comprehensive database is undoubtedly crucial for resilient evalua- tions and analyses of processing times as well as for efficient milestone and deadline monitoring – prerequisite for a reliable process monitoring and production management. In this context, ZEUS® PDC significantly contributes to optimising operational processes and improving adherence to delivery dates. Based on current and accurately recorded PDC data, frequently outdated planning data stored in the ERP system can be reliably updated and adjusted. FURTHER MODULES OF ZEUS® WORKFORCE MANAGEMENT ZEUS® Time & Attendance interacts fully automatically with ZEUS®. This ensures that time values allocated to orders and operations always correspond to the working time models and shift schedules valid at the time of data acquisition. Furthermore, it is possible to automate the productivity analysis or the incentive pay determination without any redundancy as absences are equally taken into account. ZEUS® Staff Scheduling considerably improves and simplifies shift planning tasks and all associated processes, such as shift swapping. Optimum workforce allocation in production lines is reliably ensured as employee skills, personal preferences and legal requirements as well as individual time accounts and leave planning are considered during the entire planning process.
