The Resource Planning module helps you take control of mission critical information that can help advance your organization to new heights in productivity, service levels and employee utilization. This module will bring a strategic dimension to human resources planning initiatives in your organization.

It allows you to easily create an overview of all of the parameters dealing with work requirements including tasks, service levels requirements and timing. You can instantly create comprehensive visual records of the status of employees in your organization. This helps you to easily match employees to required tasks, service levels and timing.

The Resource Planning module employs a simple corporate tree structure that clearly illustrates staffing complements and requirements by position or departments (while depicting the inter-relationship between each group within your organization). The module is powerful enough so that it can be customized to meet your organization’s current and future human resource needs.

Power-Packed Features

The Resource Planning module is part of an integrated set of applications for all payroll and human resources requirements. Here are some of its Power-Packed Features:

Comprehensive Flowcharting

With the Resource Planning module, you can create a limitless number of easy reference human resource charts. Since you define the nodes, the resulting charts represent a hierarchy of relationships that are most meaningful to you. All dimensions of human resource areas can be included such as employees, departments, branches, employee skills, equipment or positions. Relationships between the various elements are easily distinguished to make your planning not only easier, but also more effective. The Resource Planning module even accommodates specific time periods related to chart elements so planning can even include variables such as term positions or summer relief.

Planned Work Schedules

The Resource Planning module turns work load requirements into work shifts. And the powerful module does it completely, accurately and instantly. You can have confidence that the precise shift details generated from reliable resource planning data yield the most effective deployment of your organization's employees to undertake the required tasks.

System-Wide Use

Turn on the power of teamwork in your organization by leveraging the ability of your people to make informed decisions on the basis of gathered information not on gathering information. Plan Master's resource planning data is common to all modules in the GrandMaster Suite. Common data leverages your capability and provides a cohesive, efficient, human resource management tool that can be used system-wide.

Automatic Scheduling Support

When we deal in generalities we rarely succeed. When we deal in specifics we rarely fail. Plan Master is designed to bring a refined dimension to scheduling activities based upon a precise definition of work load requirements. Positions can contain work requirement information of particular value to the Schedule Master Module. Adjustable work requirements are expressed as the number of hours required for a position in a given time period. For even greater precision, these can even be limited to certain days of the week which you can specify.
