ProMark version 2.70 - New functionality and benefits

New ProJob functionality

New feature Explanation Benefits

  • Simpler and faster registration
  • Fewer error possibilities
Display of current job at clock-in (when using auto-job-in) When clocking-in, the employee is automatically jobbed in on the operation from the previous workday, which is then displayed for information purposes. If necessary, the employee can change the job the usual way. If you were not jobbed-in, the job-in dialogue appears in continuation of the clock-in registration
  • Fewer error possibilities
  • Enables visibility for the employee / serves as a reminder

New status in Projob "Pre-released"

 

 If you wish to transfer jobs from the ERP system, but avoid them being available at the terminals, they can now be marked with the status pre-released, in which case they are ready in ProMark, but blocked from input, until they are released by the foreman. Via central job registration in ProManagement it is very simple to release one or more operations in a single step
  • Gives foreman better overview and transparency of future jobs
  • Gives foreman more flexibility in job planning
  • Enables foreman to re-plan and re-prioritize
  • Avoids operations being available on the terminals before being released by the foreman
  • Allows better overview and less errors by the employee
Post-registration Simpler and easier distribution of work time on individual operations when making subsequent registrations. Time to be distributed is displayed and counted down as you enter time on different operations
  • Enables registrations at sites without immediate access to terminals
  • Easier employee registration/ distribution of today's job time
  • Improved user interface
  • Reduces amount of errors
Option to finish several operations at the same time With central job registration you can now also report several operations finished simultaneously – not having to do them one by one
  • Easier and much faster reporting of job finished

Widening of the concept Continued Absence in absence transactions -
11 16 15 56		 At data transfer to the payroll system, continued absence over rest days (weekends etc.) is marked as being one absence period. We already indicate to the payroll system when an absence period is continued from one period to the next . This ensures easier reporting of number and length of absence periods for each employee, and it enables control of seniority differences – as well as giving the correct data for calculations and official statistics
  • Easier and more accurate statistics on absence in the payroll system
  • Saves manual resources
New absence/sickness functionality -

  • Easens registration of external work for instance on weekends

Partial absence – now as a percentage

 
  • Partial absence can now be more specific and flexible by defining a percentage of the day as absence - previously is was half a day or an entered number of hours
  • You can now insert partial absence during a period as a percentage of normal time for an employee (and the employee will not have to indicate any reasons. They remain on their usual day profile)
  • Increased user focus
  • More user friendly
  • Saves resources in payroll department
  • Fulfils regulatory requirements in Sweden and Norway

Optimization of performance in ProManagement Considerably reduced time for retrieving data into ProManagement.
  • Saves time for all ProManagement users

Joined operations

 

 If several operations are most easily run as one unit in connection with registration, they can be joined in ProManagement. When reporting back to the ERP/MRPII system, they are split up again to report back on all original operations or parts thereof
  • Reduces frequency of registrations and errors
  • Enables multiple very small operations
Workforce allocation on joining operation
12 16 15 45		 A foreman can see the different operations under a joining operation in ProManagement, which helps him in planning and allocation of his workforce
  • Gives foreman better overview and transparency of future jobs
  • Gives foreman more flexibility in job planning
Displaying standard times
12 16 15 40		 To assist the planning and follow-up process, it is now possible to select standard times, planned numbers etc. in the fixed field columns in ProManagement Job
  • Gives foreman better overview and transparency of jobs
  • Gives foreman more flexibility in job planning
  • better overview on what to plan and which human resources to allocate
Operation workload When operations run over a longer period of time, allocation of employee resources can be lengthy. Now you can let the ERP system download the workload of an operation split into shorter time frames. The allocation of employees can then be made for each time frame individually
  • Better overview
  • Faster and easier planning of operations with a long duration
