Operations
Operations module is the central area of Analyticom ERP, which aggregates data from other modules, especially employees’ data from Human Resources, product costs and availability from Procurement, and enables realistic and fact-based planning of human and material resources for a Project, General Activity or Task. General activities are repetitive and permanent functional activities which produce products or services in indefinite period of time. Contrary to General activities, Projects are defined as temporary social and work system that are constituted by teams within an organization to accomplish particular tasks under time constraints. The main purpose of the Operations module is to initiate a new Project or General activity or to search for existing activities. Realization and execution are tracked and compared to original or updated plan. Various compliance mechanisms can be applied e.g. logged time approval or budget thresholds. User-friendly timesheets are filled by all employees on a daily basis, and give instant insight into all operations and progress on project, organization or employee level. The transparency deriving from this module allows managers to identify problems earlier, make timely and fact-based business decisions, keep projects on-schedule and on-budget, and even objectively evaluate the performance of employees or organizations. This module contains several consoles: Timesheet, My activities, Submitted projects, Open projects, Employee availability, Search activities, New activity and Import of actual expenses.
