AUTOMATED ASSIGNMENT PLANNING

Information

Mercateam's automated task allocation planning revolutionizes operator management in industrial production. This innovative SaaS solution automatically assigns operators to production stations considering their skills, current certifications, shifts, absences, planned workload, and all constraints. The algorithm analyzes thousands of possible combinations in seconds to generate an optimal schedule, significantly reducing managers' time spent on this task, previously done in Excel or paper T-cards on a board. The system directly connects to HR software (to retrieve absences, shifts) and ERP (to get planned workload) to integrate real-time data. It's also possible to incorporate constraints regarding rotation between stations, for fairness or versatility purposes. The assignment schedule is accessible to all operators on screens in the workshops. The solution also allows factories to collaborate between teams and gain agility by immediately identifying qualified replacements across different workshops in case of last-minute operator absence. It also helps anticipate temporary staffing or training needs in the longer term. Finally, the Mercateam platform captures all data related to planning and production teams, measuring productivity, training times, or overstaffing. Clients like LVMH, Bonduelle, or SEB report up to 50% time savings on workstation assignment planning.
