PROJECT MANAGEMENT: ACTIVITIES BASED ANALYTICAL MANAGEMENT
In the current context of productivity and cost reduction, all businesses have to deal with the recording of work time and
the management of absences, but they have to go beyond this and need to have at their disposal efficient project management
tools for measurement and follow-up that will enable work time to be allocated by project and by customer.
Those companies that have adopted project follow-up and activity based analytical management, along with a possible solution
for work time management, find themselves in an advantageous, strong position, thanks to a significantly lighter administrative
burden.
Efficient Project is Captor's intuitive management tool designed to simplify the tracking, analysis, management and edition of activity and
project reports.
A MAJOR TRUMP CARD: REAL-Time follow-up of activities and projects
For companies with a project-based organization, it is very often difficult to manage project follow-up and to measure employee
productivity and efficiency at the same time. The data necessary within such an organization is often decentralized, imprecise,
or often arrives too late. It has therefore become essential that each department and project manager should have direct,
real-time access to data on activity follow-up, they should be able to allocate work time to labour, and produce reports on
budgeted hours for each project, in order to be able to carry out a precise follow-up of the analytical costs and the work
time to be invoiced.
The Efficient Project module, in combination with the Efficient Time module for work time management, will enable you to have a rapid idea of how far the project has progressed, the human resources
being used by the project, and the customers concerned.
In fact, by using the Efficient Project module for analytical management and project follow-up, you will be able to:
- Enable employees to clock activities via the most appropriate means:
- From the clocking terminal via a function key & project code
- From the clocking screen: labour clocking
- By assigning work time to labour
- By time sheet for activity follow-up
- From the time card (entering the project)
- Define the different activity levels to which work time can be allocated. 3 levels can be defined by default by the user (example:
Site, Department, Activity), the 4th level is a project
- Link a customer or an order to one or more projects
- Estimate the hours necessary for carrying out each project
- Define a start and end date for each project
- Learn the real time status and progress of a project
- Obtain project details (time spent on the project by various resources)
- Obtain employee activity details (distribution of work time over the various projects)
- Obtain a detailed report per project comparing actual hours worked with hours budgeted
THE STRATEGIC STAKES : MANAGING TIME TO ENSURE COMPETITIVENESS
The management of project-linked time should enable you to rationalize the following processes: activity time capture, the
control of project costs and revenues, and customer invoicing.
Efficient Project provides all the necessary data for:
- Carrying out an efficient follow-up of projects, activities, orders, etc.
- Establishing a real time status report of the different projects, both active and inactive
- Analyzing the differences between planned times and actual times
- Establishing global analytical management of the different activities for each period
- Analyzing the productivity and profitability for each labour and each activity
The Efficient Project module is the ideal tool for companies adopting analytical follow-up of projects, and for service companies who wish to automate
their operational processes, and achieve easy integration of information collected from pay and invoice systems or project
management.
