Motivation for riteTIME
• Bonus program for direct laborers based on
efficiency (meeting standard rates) and applied
time (utilization)
• Fourth Shift labor entry methods not pretty
(LRRP and PICK): time consuming and inflexible
• Can’t measure efficiency until job is complete
• Can’t measure individual efficiency


Motivation for riteTIME
• Manual entry done by supervisors because of
complexity (and don’t forget number of FS user
licenses)
• Not best use of supervisor time
• Difficult to be timely


Architecture of riteTIME
• Application runs on a distinct server
(in our case a virtual server)
• riteTIME SQL database resides on same server
as Fourth Shift
• Wireless network in the plant allows us to place
PCs in strategic locations (PCs nothing special,
typically retired from front office)
• PCs equipped with touch screen monitor
overlays and suspended bar code scanners

riteTIME Supervisor Approval
• Breaks and lunches are automatically deducted so
employee does not need to return to riteTIME PC
station unnecessarily
• Supervisor only sees their own reports
• Supervisor can filter for easier approval, i.e. look for
about 7.5 hours per employee (totals at top)
• Supervisors approve punches at the end of the shift –
approved punches are imported every day at 5:00 pm.
We set up query/email at end of import to report status
– including number of failures.


riteTIME Supervisor Approval Screen


riteTIME Reporting
• riteTIME, Fourth Shift, and our payroll system
are all SQL-based so we developed our own
reports in SQL Report Manager (supervisors
already familiar with it)


Efficiency by Employee Report


Applied Time by Employee
