PARSIPPANY, NJ--(Marketwire - May 15, 2009) - CyberShift, a leading global provider
of workforce
management and
expense management software and services, today released a new white
paper titled, "Lean Manufacturing: Applying Lean Manufacturing Initiatives
to Workforce & Expense Management." Developed specifically for HR,
Payroll, operations and financial professionals in the manufacturing
industry, the paper shares insights into how these companies can fully
optimize their diverse workforces of all sizes to deliver maximum value to
customers. The complimentary white paper can be downloaded for a limited
time from www.cybershift.com/Manufacturing/default.asp.
CyberShift's latest white paper discusses how applying lean manufacturing
methodologies to workforce and expense management can help complex, mid- to
large-tier manufacturers increase business process efficiencies and reduce
payroll and expense report processing costs. CyberShift specifically
addresses how enterprise-class applications -- such as workforce and
expense management automation -- can be leveraged as part of a lean
approach to overcome persistent scheduling challenges such as
overproduction of goods. As a result, manufacturers can better match
demand-to-output levels and realize efficiencies in both the manufacturing
and distribution processes.
"Successful organizations understand the intertwined relationships between
workforce management, business performance and competitive
differentiation," stated Morné Swart, vice president of Product Management,
CyberShift, Inc. "The latest workforce management solutions help match
supply with business demands by providing visibility into the most current
workforce information, including real-time cost and sales metrics and key
performance indicators (KPIs). This insight provides manufacturing
operations management with the ability to react to changing labor and
market demands with greater accuracy and speed than ever before."
The new white paper also examines the myriad business challenges created by
ever-expanding employee mobility, and the solutions available to bring
enterprise applications to these workers, increasing both their
productivity and efficiency while in the field. As an example,
CyberShift's mobile solutions are designed to provide mobile access, in
real time, to enterprise-class applications such as expense reporting,
employee self-service, and time and attendance, all on the BlackBerry®
platform.
In addition to workforce management, control of employee business expenses
-- widely recognized as the second-largest variable expense under
management control after labor costs -- is also vital to a manufacturer's
continued operational efficiency. The CyberShift white paper reviews the
application of lean manufacturing initiatives to expense management, and
explains how an Expense Management Automation (EMA) solution can boost
productivity as well as workforce loyalty and satisfaction.
"By relying on an EMA solution, manufacturers can centralize and better
manage the escalating costs involved in processing expenses," said Craig
Fearon, senior product director, Expense Applications, CyberShift. "In
addition to automating the expense reporting and approval cycle, an EMA
solution will ensure operational efficiencies and generate higher levels of
employee engagement, especially since reimbursements will be processed on a
timely basis."

Initiatives to Workforce & Expense Management," is complimentary and
