Aerospace Company Interfaces AutoTime to Multiple
Systems; Wants Minimal Administration, Accurate Data and No
Downtime
MIRAMAR, FLA. – March 1, 2005 – Kaba Workforce
Solutions, the North American operating subsidiary of $900 million
Kaba Holding AG and worldwide leader in enterprise workforce
management systems, today announced that Ducommun AeroStructures
(Gardena, Calif.), has gone live with its AutoTime time and
attendance software. Besides Gardena, other California facilities
are in Orange, Monrovia and El Mirage. Yet another facility is in
Parsons, Kansas.
AutoTime is a Best-in-Class COTS (Commercial Off-the-Shelf)
application for time and attendance, labor distribution, and
material movement tracking for exempt and non-exempt personnel.
AutoTime captures and processes direct and indirect labor and
calculates employee payroll in environments ranging from simple to
complex. It offers strategic value to companies concerned with their
use and cost of direct and indirect labor. It is highly configurable
and quickly accommodates ever-changing, complex work rules that
govern employee pay.
“We were looking to streamline our existing
time & attendance process while standardizing across all DAS
facilities," explains Hovik Hacobian, Ducommun Vice President of
Information Technology. "We want minimal administrative activities,
accurate data and no downtime."
According to Hacobian, Ducommun’s primary ERP is Baan. Before
purchasing, he requested a demonstration in which he could analyze
the functionality and flexibility of AutoTime plus test its
integration capabilities with other ERPs. As a result, Ducommun
chose AutoTime and is interfacing it to several systems. On the
front end, Ducommun is using Intermec bar code readers and
Bridgelogix software to capture the data and feed it to AutoTime.
Supervisors, Human Resources, Payroll and Finance personnel have
been trained to access AutoTime on their PCs for administrative
tasks.
“Like our many other aerospace customers, Ducommun has been able
to leverage the benefits of our industry experience in quickly
interfacing AutoTime to other plant efficiency systems, resulting in
a faster and smoother installation," emphasizes John Edwards,
President and General Manager of Kaba Workforce Solutions. “AutoTime
will now help them reach their goal of a more efficient and accurate
reporting environment.”
AutoTime is installed at over 300 individual sites employing from
150 to 15,000 employees and interfaces with leading ERP, HCM,
payroll and enterprise systems.
