Employee Master

The Employee Master module is a centralized record of all employees associated with the production process.
It maintains comprehensive details such as their roles, departments, hourly costs, and status, which are vital for effective workforce management, labor cost tracking, and resource allocation.

This module ensures that every employee involved in the MES workflow is properly identified, categorized, and assigned relevant permissions or tasks according to their role.

Purpose​

The Employee Master serves several key functions:

  • Maintains an organized record of all employees across various departments.
  • Links employees with their operational roles (e.g., Operator, Supervisor, Engineer).
  • Helps in tracking labor costs by defining hourly rates for each employee.
  • Supports efficient resource planning and production cost analysis.
  • Enables quick updates to employee status (Active/Inactive) based on employment or assignment changes.
