Sandglass – Time

Tracking System

The tool works similar to a sandglass: it does not allow time to stop once the sand starts to flow.

It only allows users to change the flow of the sand (to assign time to a different task). The tool instills effective aviation MRO process management ensuring accurately entered work-time data. Because of this, the reports show exact data meaning clients are charged based on correct statistics.

Features and benefits

With Sandglass, MRO managers can track the time employees spend on productive work and non-production activities and use the resulting metrics for analysis.

This helps in understanding how much additional time employees could be spending on billable work and evaluating the effectiveness of each process. In addition, Sandglass MRO allows checking on employees’ real-time performance and increases traceability across multiple sectors.

The tool works like a sandglass: it does not allow time to stop once the sand starts to flow ensuring task cards are managed effectively. The feature only allows users to change the flow of the sand in order to assign time to a different task. This ensures effective aviation MRO process management with accurate work-time data entered onto the system. As a result, the subsequent reports display exact data, and clients are charged on correct statistics that derive from predictable maintenance and production lines.

With Sandglass, MRO operators can track in real-time how long employees spend on production work and non-production activities, using the resulting metrics for analysis and future optimization.

This helps in understanding how much additional time employees could be spending on billable work and evaluating the effectiveness of each process. In addition, Sandglass MRO allows for checking the status of employees’ real-time performance and increases accountability across multiple sectors.
