Involving employees: shift swaps and self-organization
Employees see their shift schedule, request absences and choose tasks themselves, within the framework that planning sets.
Hawk IVO Plan
Planning task
The plan has to fit the facilities and the order situation.
In manufacturing, the shift plan determines whether facilities are staffed and orders are finished on time. Qualifications, shift systems, absences and fluctuating order volumes have to fit together every day.
Hawk IVO Plan brings these requirements together in one plan, from a single plant to planning across multiple sites.
Requirements
What planning in manufacturing has to deliver.
Qualifications at the facility
For each workplace, the qualification matrix shows who has mastered which activity and at what level. Planning takes this into account when filling shifts.
In step with orders
Staffing requirements follow the production orders. Detailed scheduling and the machine calendar are part of the same planning.
Connected to SAP and MES
Master data, orders and recorded times come from SAP and other ERP systems, from the MES and from time tracking.

Questions
Frequently asked questions in manufacturing
Can planning be connected to SAP?
Yes. Master data and personnel movements can be imported from SAP, for example to activate or deactivate temporary employees automatically.
Can plants abroad also be included?
Yes. Within a framework agreement, plant-specific cost structures can be mapped so that every site is included in the overall planning.
Is there a mobile app for employees?
Yes. Employees see their shift schedule, submit absence requests and use the chat in the mobile app.
