„In the first week of October, we installed all the hard-
ware: 45 Access Terminals and 10 Time Recording Termi-
nals, so “hats off” to the ISGUS technicians who bravely
took on the challenge to complete this mammoth task“
says Siegfried Rodefeld talking about the on-site coope-
ration as well as the initial consultation and any issues
arising. In spring 2017, a ZEUS® WebWorkflow terminal
will also be added, when production staff will then be
able to view their working time paperless accounts and
make online holiday requests.
24 hours in a 3-shift operation
For R&R, work is carried out in a 3-shift operation from
Monday to Friday. Applied shifts are early, late and
night, i.e. around the clock. Each season’s business is
and has to be very flexible. This is why there may also
be Saturday shifts from January to July during order
peaks, and production may even continue throughout on
Sundays. R&R employs 80 working time patterns for 500
permanent employees and 300 temporary employees.
320 employees are active in production, 50 in logistics, 45
in technology and 85 in administration and sales. Absen-
ces and surcharges are transferred from ZEUS® Time Re-
cording to the payroll program Hansalog. There are two
payroll runs: employees paid at the end of the month,
salaried employees follow on the 5th of the month.
IFS Higher Level certified
For food manufacturers, an international certification of
product and food safety is essential today: from product
purity to batch traceability. The IFS (International Fea-
tured Standards) food certification is the standard that
protects the food chain with regular audits, therefore
contributing importantly to consumer protection.
„ZEUS® Access Control with an ISGUS terminal at the
entrance gate is the first step towards food protection,
only authorized personnel can gain entry to the pre-
mises. The whole area is fenced“, says head of human
resources Siegfried Rodefeld, describing just one of the
numerous aspects of product safety. The processes are
carried out according to IFS and are audited annually,
R&R is IFS Higher Level certified. Further audits are
imposed by the customer. An unannounced audit can
occur, for example an environmental health and so-
cial audit, where questions concerning operational or
corporate ethics are scrutinized over a two day period:
encompassing employment contracts, remuneration,
working hours through to working conditions.
ZEUS® WebWorkflow step by step
„The next step for us is the introduction of the Web-
Workflow. First, for employees with their own PC, then
we will select a department from within the commercial
area, when we will then commence with an initial trial. If
this works well, we will make the paperless administrati-
on of working hour accounts accessible to all employees
with a central WebWorkflow terminal in the cafeteria“,
Siegfried Rodefeld concludes with an outlook on 2017.
