What does operational control mean to you?

Or is "control" stretching it a bit?

For example, on Mondays, you review last week's timesheets and see that many employees worked overtime. You speak to your supervisors and will try to get back on track this week.

Next Monday, rinse and repeat.

Wouldn't you like to see into the future and know an employee is headed for overtime and have time to adjust their schedule to avoid it? You can!

You can also know if travel time is pushing the employee into overtime.

The situation shown below shows 2 people on the clock today, Thursday, with overtime (red hours) expected to happen on Friday. With this information, you have time to draft an employee with fewer hours to cover for the employees with expected overtime. Look ahead to next week to make schedule changes.

The days of making decisions based on last week's problems are over. You need answers before they become problems.

Consider also that travel time accrues against the job in which your employee is driving. Did you factor in travel time when you bid on the jobs? If not, future travel pay can put your jobs over budget.
