TaskCaddy and a Wireless World of Multi-Facilities at the Airport
Scenario..
Due to federal gov’t mandate, you’re expected to increase the production and organization level of a facilities' environmental and regular maintenance activities in the newly expanded facilities.
Constraints?
You’ve had high turnover at the new locale; and there is an unfunded mandate that does not allow you to increase staffing for the new facilities.
What to do?
Among the many choices you have are: (1) Transfer the existing Facilities Manager to the new facility, (2) hire and train new management for the operation, under existing budget guidelines, (3) cut back in operations at the existing facilities.
Another Solution? Task Caddy
These difficulties would not arise or would be less had there been a common and reportable task reporting system that was independent of staff shortages.
That is why TaskCaddy was developed. Common tasks are defined once in your data base. Actuated job standards are computed and placed in the database at the task level.
All daily work activities are planned and task based. And you have real-time visibility as to the feedback your management team is receiving from the field. Not filtered by local management, not copied and massaged by intermediaries, but taken directly from that last-mile of activity, as it is entered into the PDA. You see the feedback directly, over a secure web-based server, wherever you are in the world. From this you can then do reliable data analysis.
