approval history and buyer’s efficiency among others.
V. Personnel Management: This part of the application provides the management and
supervision with a complete history on each employee from the date of hire to the last
date worked including all personnel transactions. It also includes ‘Leave Schedule Chart’
with predetermined criteria to insure availability of personnel on the job site, ‘Automated
Roasters and Monthly Working Hours’, ‘Personnel Organization Chart’ (Export to Visio)
