About Mahle Engineering
A leading supplier to the automotive industry, Mahle Engineering is based out of Pune but they have 160 production locations worldwide. They own many specialized machines and deal with 500+ diverse workforce in India. They have to deal with labour laws of multiple geographies. The management team was looking to consolidate data and simplify operations.
Challenges
The earlier thumb based system did not work because of faded imprints in the hands of workers who used oil machinery. On the HR front, the challenge was two-fold. Firstly, it was difficult to track contract workers from various agencies and keep a record of their attendance. Secondly, the current manual tracking was making over-time and payroll calculations difficult.
They needed a solution that would automate the processes in a way that they could:
- Overcome problem of manual syncs due to unregistered thumb attendance
- Monitor attendance in real time
- Maintain shift time discipline and record working hours as well as overtime
- Record proof of attendance of every worker, including contract workers
Solution
We recommended use of our Truein Attendance solution at all their plant locations. We helped them to use specific features for their specific challenges. They were:
- Face recognition based accurate attendance
- Separate kiosk at entry point and attendance point
- Time stamp on all in and out records
- Attendance rule to count working hours based on first in-time and first-out time
- Multi-user feature for role based approval, regularizing attendance and checks
- Contractor - agency level reporting for temp. staff
Result
Truein solved their problems at multiple levels.
- Truein face recognition eliminated proxies and saved cost from leakages
- The client could use Truein data to calculate payroll and overtime
- Attendance policies helped them set shift roster, working hours, holidays for every employee
- Managers could track attendance in real-time to ensure plant operations at full capacity
