While most companies strive for continuous operational improvement, overall effectiveness and efficiency is paramount during these trying economic times.  Although the manufacturing industry has placed great emphasis on developing, deploying, and operating highly efficient physical plant environments, more emphasis needs to be placed on the workforce that operates the equipment and processes in asset-intensive environments such as oil and gas production. 

In this session, we will discuss how the use of workforce management tools can help oil and gas companies reduce labor costs, reduce compliance risk, and achieve greater operational efficiency.  We will review some of the pain points of scheduling labor in oil production operations as well as the difficulties surrounding the management of labor effectiveness.  We will also discuss the important factors to consider in selecting and implementing a workforce management system.
