Manufacturers digitise and transform operations globally

Manufacturers worldwide are selecting Workforce Dimensions from Kronos Inc. to enable digital transformation in the race to bring connectivity, intelligence, and flexible automation to the manufacturing workforce

Innovative integrations and continuous feature enhancements to Workforce Dimensions – including the new Work application – empower manufacturers to increase operational agility by leveraging the cloud-native, artificial intelligence-powered workforce management suite to drive intelligent decision making and deliver a differentiated employee experience. 

Improving operational performance in manufacturing

Managing employee activities on the shop floor is simplified using Work, the new Workforce Dimensions application purpose-built for manufacturers. Work provides real-time access to detailed labour activity data that enables manufacturers to quickly respond to production issues, manage labour costs, and measure performance against established metrics such as productivity and efficiency.

Real-time visibility

Managers gain real-time visibility into their operation – including work-in-progress (WIP) and actual labour costs – so they can improve job costing accuracy and strategic planning to meet production goals in a more profitable and efficient manner.

Personalised dashboards

Frontline employees benefit from a simplified, mobile-first user experience. New smart forms streamline data entry while personalised dashboards provide access to the tools and information that matter most to employees, including personalised activity data, schedules, timecards, and the ability to easily submit shift-swap and time-off requests.
