Working Time Solutions, the working time change solutions provider, has completed a contract for INEOS’ Scottish refining and petrochemical site at Grangemouth, to provide them with a comprehensive database for day-to-day planning, management and monitoring of working time.

Working Time Solutions was enlisted by INEOS Manufacturing Scotland Ltd to help review methods of managing and monitoring shift working; in particular, any additional hours and overtime across its industrial complex, home to Scotland’s only crude oil refinery.

A major player in the petrochemical field, INEOS Manufacturing Scotland Ltd recognised a requirement for a system to enhance and compliment its existing process of collecting and analysing working time data and turned to Working Time Solutions to help design and implement this.

Steven Boyle, HR Manager at INEOS commented: “The site at Grangemouth operates around the clock with approximately 600 of the 1400 employees following a core continental shift patterns of five teams. Our employees produce the bulk of automotive fuels for Scotland and the North of England as well as a range of chemical products so important for modern society.

“This new system helps us to manage any changes to planned patterns of shift work and assists us in accurately calculating individuals’ working time. It also provides us with an assessment on the likely outcome of such changes to ensure that we can respond appropriately and effectively.”

Kevin White, managing director of Working Time Solutions added:

“2008 has been a very successful year for us so far, having won major contracts in the pharmaceutical, defence and food manufacturing sectors. We hope to continue to pick up a diverse range of business, reflecting our adaptability and wide experience and expertise, for the remainder of the year.”

Working Time Solutions provides workforce forecasting, scheduling and management consultancy, underpinned by robust, innovative software applications which enable organisations to match workforce supply to business demand at the lowest cost. It has a proven track record within chemical, pharmaceutical and petro-chemical industries with companies such as ICI, Growhow, GlaxoSmithKline, Nynas and Petro Plus.
