Solutions to Global Manufacturing Time Registration Problems Revealed by To-Increase

Norwell, MA, March 09, 2011 --(PR.com)-- To-Increase, a provider of Microsoft Dynamics solutions for discrete and industrial equipment manufacturing, helps manufacturers identify and solve five common time registration problems, ranging from overcoming documentation challenges to working with remote employees, in a newly published blog post.

Unlike steel, which can be held in one's hand and traced back to its source, time represents a rather nebulous asset for manufacturers. Time plays by its own rules (ie serving daylight in one part of the world and evening in another) and by the rules an individual sets upon it (for instance, when a job encompassing 52 minutes is fudged up to an hour.)

"Better time registration and management represent one of the biggest opportunities for success for manufacturers," states Luciano Cunha, Global Industry Director, To-Increase, and author of the blog post, 5 Global Manufacturing Time Registration Problems (& How To Solve Them.)

In his blog post, Cunha identifies and offers solutions for five major time management problems known to plague global manufacturers:

1. Documentation Issues
2. Working with Remote Workers
3. Handling Differing Time Zones
4. Communicating & Building Relationships With Remote Plants
5. Overcoming Differences in Environmental Conditions

A common thread that underlies each time management problem and solution shared in this new post by Cunha is the need for, or lack of, information.

In order to implement more effective time management solutions, information must first be made available to manufacturing company leaders, via better documentation by both onsite and remote workers. To more effectively manage projects, manufacturing company leaders must also secure information entered from remote plants throughout the world, regardless of the difference in time zones. And finally, all employees must have the ability to enter project information into a system in real-time, even if environmental conditions make it impossible to travel to a plant safely.

"Fortunately, time registration solutions exist that are built on the foundation of ensuring information is available globally and in real-time," concludes Cunha. "The key is to identify the primary time management problems you are experiencing, and to insist on a solution built to solve these needs."
