1.02.00 about digital production control™
Digital Production Control gives an estimator/project manager total job visibility to recognize labor production problems instantly. By integrating the takeoff and estimating processes, this powerful program digitally tracks labor production and payroll directly from the field to the project manager's work station in the office. Color coded plans display work in progress and indicate exactly where labor-cost overruns are occurring. Now the foreman can know immediately what production was expected to be achieved on each cost code and phase of the job. This dynamic tool lets a user know if the project is winning or losing the budget war. If the last 5% of the job is draining 50% of profits, Digital Production Control is the answer!
This is only the beginning with Digital Production Control:

Digital Production Control allows a project manager to perform job costing with greater accuracy than ever before. In addition, the project manager has real-time information at his or her fingertips.

In a nutshell Digital Production Control saves a company time and money by providing the project manager with the right information at the right time.
To use Digital Production Control, the On-Screen Takeoff Bid must be set up using Price Using Quick Bid - Interactive. Digital Production Control tracks labor activity by using the Labor Cost Codes included in Conditions when priced in Quick Bid. The Labor Quantities and Hours Shown in each Conditions' Labor tab are calculated based on the Labor Activity as set in the Condition Detail item in Quick Bid.
Every contractor has a list of payroll labor cost codes. Theses codes (LCCs) will determine how accurately labor is tracked on the job site. Well defined labor codes allow more accurate tracking of job site progress against the budget. Contact your Account Manager or visit On Center Software's Web site for more information about Digital Production Control or a demonstration of this advanced labor tracking software.
