In a short time, <strong>it was extended to all 10 Electrolux plants in Italy<\/strong>, including the Forl\u00ec plant. <\/p>\n\n<p>With <strong>AWMS<\/strong>, Electrolux was able to:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Plan shifts by integrating data on production, skills, physical constraints and certifications<br\/><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Manage sudden absences and production variations in real time<br\/><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Collect data directly from the department via tablet<br\/><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Analyze actual vs. planned schedule, staff saturation, skill level and rotation<br\/><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>Key features such as <strong>Planning<\/strong>, <strong>Skill Matrix<\/strong>, <strong>Unexpected &amp; Absence Management<\/strong>, <strong>Safety<\/strong>, <strong>Efficiency<\/strong> have been implemented, as well as <strong>Azzurra<\/strong>, the mobile app that allows employees to manage vacation requests, permits, view shifts and receive communications, including clothing vouchers.<\/p>\n\n<p>AWMS has also integrated an advanced IT system to monitor server status, resource consumption and integration between all company systems.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_complete_view_of_people\"><\/span><strong>A complete view of people<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p>With <strong>Skill Matrix<\/strong>, each operator is mapped according to planned and actual skills, displayed in a color system that simplifies the understanding of training levels. This tool allows you to monitor progress, identify gaps and enhance the potential of resources. <\/p>\n\n<p>The <strong>Deadlines<\/strong> section offers a detailed overview of upcoming medical visits, with alerts on renewals to be carried out, while in the Limitations area you can quickly access health reports, which can also be viewed through a graphic interface of the human body: intuitive and immediate.<\/p>\n\n<p>It is possible to associate each type of limitation to the operators, monitoring typology, validity, deadlines and any certifications to attach in PDF or Word.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Results_more_efficiency_more_control_more_people_at_the_center\"><\/span><strong>Results: more efficiency, more control, more people at the center<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p>Today, Electrolux has left whiteboards and Excel sheets behind. The workforce is planned intelligently, integrated and dynamically. Managers have real-time control of production efficiency, while workers finally have visibility and autonomy, even from mobile.  <\/p>\n\n<p>But the greatest achievement is not just technological. It is cultural. <\/p>\n\n<p>Because <strong>AWMS was born by listening to people&#8217;s needs<\/strong>, and continues to grow every day, together with those who work in the plants, from Forl\u00ec to Europe, from the United States to Africa.<\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In 2019, within the Electrolux plant in Porcia, workforce management was still done in an artisanal way: a magnetic board divided into departments and lines.
