(PRWEB) February 2 2004--Maynard is pleased to announce the arrival of PlanStaff Manager, its latest software solution for integrated labor management. PlanStaff Manager is a dynamic staffing decision tool that integrates enterprise-wide data to automatically generate realistic staffing levels. These staffing levels are based on engineered standards and volume driver values. Engineered standards form the basis for proper staffing by specifying the work content and the time it takes to complete it. Volume driver values are applied to the standards to integrate business drivers such as customer traffic, transaction data and production goals into your staffing decisions. Integrating these indices and measures results in a staffing level based upon the amount of work required to complete the delivery of a product or service. Since engineered standards form the basis for the staffing levels, the user is assured of accurate time calculations and staffing levels. Through the use of volume drivers, staffing levels can be dynamically generated to reflect changes in your customer requirements. PlanStaff Manager dramatically reduces the amount of effort, time and money needed to implement and maintain a staffing process.PlanStaff Manager increases labor effectiveness by allowing the user to make staffing decisions based upon an organization`s goals and objectives for the desired level of customer service, schedule achievement or production goals. It provides fact-based data that documents the true labor cost to perform the work, enabling the user to plan with confidence. PlanStaff Manager is very effective for all industries requiring a staffing model to accurately staff the correct number of labor hours, including retail, service, distribution, and manufacturing.
