Time Management That Works For Utility Companies

Minnesota Power (MP) is typical of the utilities that turn to WorkTech to manage Time and Attendance. With thousands of assets, MP turned to the Maximo Enterprise Asset Management system to manage maintenance of their assets. To ensure that labor was properly accounted for, MP had its employees enter time directly into Maximo. This proved to be an inefficient process, so MP turned to WorkTech for a solution.

Today, MP employees enter their time through a variety of data collection devices into WorkTech Time which performs complex validation and applies rules configured through the user interface. Managers can review time and make edits/corrections before the time is approved thus saving managers a significant amount of time. The standard Maximo integration then passes the labor information directly into Maximo’s labor transaction manager, providing seamless integration between the asset management system and the labor management system.

The result is a significant reduction of errors, a dramatic reduction in the amount of time that managers spend on correcting errors, and a strong return on investment.
