Tracking and discussing absenteeism during Short Interval Meetings (SIMs) is essential for industrial teams, as it directly impacts productivity, safety, and overall team performance.
Low absenteeism ensures production continuity and enhances shop floor safety.
Consistently tracking absenteeism helps teams with problem-solving, root cause analysis, and workforce planning while fostering accountability and transparency.
📌 Solution with Fabriq
Start by working with your Fabriq admin and CSM to define an "Absenteeism" event type, enabling teams to track absences consistently.
How it works:
Team leaders can create absenteeism events, selecting the zone where the absentee works and the cause of absence.
At the team level, leaders can generate event-based time series to track absenteeism daily, weekly, or monthly.
Team managers can create Pareto charts to analyze the main causes of absenteeism for better decision-making.
At the site level, teams can easily aggregate absenteeism data into indicators to monitor trends and improve workforce planning.
