Transforming Workforce Management with AI


Summery
The DSM AI Dashboard was designed to streamline workforce management by integrating AI capabilities. One of the critical features of this dashboard is its ability to detect sick staff members who are unavailable and assist users in reallocating employees to different plants on-site efficiently. This feature ensures optimal staffing levels and minimal operational disruptions.

The Problem
Managing workforce availability across multiple plants is a challenging task, especially when employees call in sick unexpectedly. This often leads to operational inefficiencies, as managers struggle to reassign staff to maintain productivity. Traditional methods of staff allocation are time-consuming and lack the flexibility needed for real-time adjustments.

The Features
AI-Powered Detection
Automatically identifies staff who are unavailable due to sickness or other reasons. The system leverages AI algorithms to analyse attendance data in real time, minimising delays in detecting absenteeism and helping managers respond swiftly to workforce changes.
Interactive Dashboard
Offers a user-friendly and comprehensive view of staff availability and plant requirements. Managers can easily access all necessary details, including employee statuses, plant schedules, and current workforce distribution, all in one centralised interface.
Quick Reallocation
Provides simple and efficient tools to assign available staff to different plants based on immediate needs. The intuitive drag-and-drop feature and automated suggestions make the process fast and hassle-free, ensuring plants remain operational without delay.
Real-Time Updates
Ensures managers have the most up-to-date information to make informed decisions. The dashboard dynamically updates employee availability and plant requirements, reducing errors caused by outdated data and enhancing operational responsiveness.
Customisable Settings
By leveraging advanced customisation options, managers can adapt the platform to meet the unique demands of each facility or team. This includes setting priorities based on production deadlines, assigning tasks aligned with employee expertise, and dynamically adjusting schedules in response to real-time changes. The result is a seamless and efficient allocation process that reduces downtime, enhances operational efficiency, and ensures that the right people are in the right place at the right time.

The Solution
The AI Dashboard provides a seamless solution to this problem. By leveraging AI, the system detects employee absences and allows managers to reassign available staff to other plants quickly. The user-friendly interface ensures that reallocations can be done with just a few clicks, saving time and reducing the potential for human error.
