Hello everyone, I am Asif. I find this site superb, awesome, and very helpful.

Challenges in Setting Up a System for a Plastic Bottle Factory

Basically, I own a plastic bottle factory and am finding difficulty in setting up a system. I would be really grateful if someone could refer me to a book on system development. By system, I mean aspects such as the format and use of time cards, who the tertiary labor should be accountable to (such as the shift in-charge), how to manage different types of inventories, the control procedures, and any suggested formats.

Managing Labor in Bangladesh

The problem I face is that I live in Bangladesh where the majority are daily basis laborers. Some work only 2 days a month, then leave, and after 7 months, they come back and work 15 days. Many daily basis workers work only when required. How do I manage the most efficient system of record-keeping and hours recording?

Cost-Effectiveness of Time Card Punching

Can you please advise whether time card punching is cost-effective for daily basis workers? I feel it is not, since they might take the card as labor turnover is very high. Labor turnover varies; therefore, please do not suggest ways to reduce turnover. The factory is located in a situation and operates in an environment where labor turnover is high.

Regards,
Asif
