Manhattan’s Labor Management solution is part of the Manhattan Active® Supply Chain family of products. It can be installed as a stand-alone solution or as part of the integrated suite of products. Manhattan’s innovative approach led it to become the first Tier 1 Labor Management System (LMS) provider to support a mobile solution for iOS®, Android™ and Windows Mobile® platforms.
4SIGHT combines our proven Manhattan functional and technical expertise with a strong operations and engineering knowledge to help you increase productivity, reduce costs, and strengthen your competitive advantage. 4SIGHT resources have decades of experience implementing labor management solutions and recommend a phased approach when implementing an LMS.
The initial phase involves configuring the software to ensure all transactional data is recorded. This includes associate travel time, which can be the largest single variable between assignments. Tracking the time it takes to move about the facility for each task allows you to monitor and analyze productivity from a baseline. When done in conjunction with a Warehouse Management System (WMS) go-live, you’ll then be able to evaluate your new software adoption/learning curve.
In the next phase, you can use engineered labor standards for a more sophisticated approach. Using discrete information from the WMS enables you to give management an unprecedented level of granular performance tracking not available with the WMS alone. This allows management to evaluate the effectiveness of training, supervisors, and individuals.
The most advanced phase involves the implementation of incentives and planning tools. The use of incentives reinforces the performance culture of the previous phase while rewarding your over-achievers.
Because we have both the standards engineering experience and an in-depth knowledge of Manhattan’s LMS and WMS solutions, we can provide you a one-stop-shop solution. Our proven implementation methodology will ensure an efficient and cost-effective approach to implementing all Manhattan products.
4SIGHT knows your warehouse is unique, and you need a customized approach to making sure you can carry out your customers’ requests to their exacting specifications.
