ZMT has a modern tool for scheduling employee work. It has a friendly and transparent interface that makes preparing the brigade’s work plan very easy. Work is assigned by moving the “tile” (task) from the right side of the screen (unassigned tasks) to the central part containing the calendar divided into brigade employees. The list of unassigned tasks is updated automatically and additionally contains information (e.g. priority/criticality, nature of work, technical object, etc.) that helps select the most important tasks.

Scheduler

The tool is based on a drag-and-drop mechanism, simultaneously signaling a lot of information using colors and symbols. This makes it possible to quickly and accurately assess the situation, without having to read too much into details. If you need additional information, you can adjust the size of the right panel or display detailed information in a pop-up window. If you make a mistake, you can use the “undo” button.

Scheduler

The information communicated in the center of the screen includes:

  • Employee availability
  • % of brigade occupancy in a given period
  • Task priority
  • Type of work (e.g. emergency) and industry (mechanical, electrical, etc.)

 

The tool is designed to allow frequent corrections to the schedule. If the work performed turns out to be more complicated than originally expected, it can be easily managed from the schedule level by:

  • Duration extension
  • Adding additional people to complete the task
  • Scheduling overtime work
  • Dividing the task into several periods
Scheduler

If you need to schedule more complex tasks, you can use the creation of dependencies in which you define which tasks should follow each other (e.g. the second one cannot start until the first one ends). In this way, any shifting of tasks in time will be done collectively, taking into account the connections between individual tasks. And all this is done in a few clicks. When designing the tool, the needs and expectations of users were taken into account, thanks to which the final version of the application is very intuitive and user-friendly, while having many advanced functions.
