Labor Forecasting and Schedule Optimization

Employee Loan and Borrow

This feature allows store managers to loan employees temporarily to another location for scheduling with LFSO. This is a post-optimization process (meaning the optimizer cannot schedule a loaned or borrowed employee) designed to maximize resources utilization across an organization. The process includes an Employee Loan Request form and interaction to automate the communication and approval of the request, and to notify the employee as to which store he will be working at. This feature also ensures that schedule metrics and costs properly account for loaned and borrowed employees. The feature is compatible with the Schedule Compliance module.

LFSO Configuration Editor

The task of setting up and maintaining a Labor Forecasting and Schedule Optimization (LFSO) configuration is greatly simplified with this new feature. The LFSO Configuration Editor consolidates the administration of LFSO into one easy-to-use, easy-to-navigate screen. Activities such as creating new locations and comparing multiple locations are greatly simplified. You can now make changes to mass changes – changes to multiple locations, employees, or almost any other LFSO data element.
