Manufacturing companies need effective tools to monitor employee working time and performance. This statement appears in many conversations, pointing to a tricky challenge, both managerial and financial. The reasons why companies choose to use these tools include:

• a lack of precise record-keeping on employee working time, available to managers/supervisors/team leaders;
• optimisation of production processes;
• cost optimisation;
• business process adjustment, which I wrote about here;
• real-time visibility of staff working hours;
• the need to plan working time

How do we manage business processes so that the company does not create chaos, but a customer-, service- and goal-oriented organization that syncs well together? In this guide you will learn:

• What exactly is a business process and what does it have to do with IT?
• Does business process mapping make sense?
• Are there tools to support digital business processes?

Many companies, especially those who are new to business process automation, wonder whether to focus on Robotic Process Automation (RPA) or perhaps implementing a workflow platform (BPMS). As a result, when they decide on one of these technologies and use it, they want it to handle as many processes as possible. The thinking behind it is: since we are investing in Robotic Process Automation, we should automate all the processes in our company. Is this approach right? More in this article, but first just a quick look at RPA and BPM.

Many business owners and CIOS are looking into robotic process automation (also known as RPA) to help teams and staff. RPA is also an excellent way to cut down on tedious and repetitive tasks. RPA tools can significantly free up corporate workers and help them focus on work that requires a more human touch with higher value.

However, RPA requires very specific design and planning to ensure that its implementation and delivery is ideal. The delivery process is crucial in this respect.

Before investing in RPA implementation, it’s important to understand exactly how this business process works. In this in-depth guide, we’re going to explore exactly what robotic process automation is and how the delivery process works, step-by-step.

Additive manufacturing is continuing to industrialize at quite a fast rate. Manufacturers who adopt this form of manufacturing will need to have the best possible strategies in place in order to manage and grow their workflows. An excellent way to do this is by using a Manufacturing Execution System (MES)

But what exactly is a Manufacturing Execution System? What are the tangible benefits, and is it easy to implement? Let’s explore everything you need to know about manufacturing execution systems, and how GGS IT Consulting can help you get started with MES.
