The People Side of Production
Synesis MES Employees & Labor manages the operator and supervisor side of production. Every employee has a record with role, department, skill set, certifications, shift assignment, and active status. Skill records drive who can run which work centers. Certification expirations trigger training assignments in Synesis QMS. Time and attendance integrate with payroll. Labor capture against work orders drives earned-hours reporting and shift productivity analysis.
The system supports the realities of manufacturing labor: multi-operator crew jobs, indirect activities, training time, setup time, and shift handoffs. Operators clock in and clock out at workstation terminals. Supervisors see who's where, what they're working on, and how they're trending against standard.

Shift Productivity
Operator & Shift Reporting

Plant & Department
Employees assigned to plant, department, work center, and shift. Roll up labor and productivity at any level. Multi-site enterprise support.
Labor Outcomes That Matter
Accurate Earned Hours
Production posting × routing standard times = earned hours. Compared with actual clock time. Variance is the productivity gap.
Skill-Based Scheduling
Schedulers see who's qualified for each work center. Cross-training plans built from skill gaps.
Compliance Without Drama
Certification expirations trigger Synesis QMS retraining before they expire. Audits show 100% certified workforce.
Coaching Data
Productivity trends per operator and shift are visible to supervisors in real time. Coaching conversations are based on data, not gut feel.
