   This series can be used to perform staffing & scheduling
studies, as well as monitor day to day, week to week, and
accounting period to accounting period volumes &
productivities by department or operation.  It is another
link in the quantification of your daily operations.  Since
whatever is quantifiable is manageable, it allows you to
manage your productivity, optimizing your labor costs.  The
series suggests staffing levels & schedules, while building a
historical data base for use throughout the IE Tool Box.
Probably the most important part of the IE Tool Box is the
system of files that when viewed jointly, gives a more
comprehensive understanding of the total operation , than can
be obtained in any other way.
   No attempt is made here to teach Manpower Planning, only
to provide a tool.
   This program addresses the complement roster, including
assignments, and allows work schedules to be developed and
printed out.  The complement roster can be sorted by
seniority, by shift, by craft, etc..
   We are now ready to begin.
