Labour Scheduling Optimisation: Warehouse and Distribution Labour Scheduling Software

Manhattan Associates’ Labour Scheduling Optimisation software is specifically designed to meet the unique labour requirements of complex distribution centre and warehouse operations by maximising productivity and scheduling based on key variables like employee skill sets and workload demand forecasts. Labour Scheduling Optimisation uses advanced optimisation technology to automatically plan and prescribe employee schedules that ensure the most efficient use of labour resources.

When combined with our industry-leading Labour Management solution, Labour Scheduling Optimisation is proven to trim labour costs by approximately 6 percent to 9 percent—a substantial operating expense reduction when you consider that an estimated 55% of warehouse management operating costs are related to labour expenses. Other key benefits include:

• Automation of manual labour scheduling methods to increase labour scheduling efficiency
• Workforce allocation balanced to demand fulfilment
• Employee skill sets, seniority and operational needs optimally matched to workload demand
• Increased throughput, enhanced service levels and improved customer satisfaction
