Introduction

In today’s fast-paced business environment, ensuring efficiency, productivity, and accountability is paramount for companies or government agencies to reduce expenses. One effective way to achieve these goals is by implementing employee and equipment tracking systems. This case study explores the benefits, challenges, and outcomes experienced by [Confidential] County of New Jersey, which adopted tracking practices for its workforce and resources.

Background

[Confidential] County of New Jersey is required to monitor and check on a daily basis all mission critical equipment such as generators, power stations, mainframes, etc.  In times of need, it is important that such equipment is fully functioning and ready for deployment or implementation.   Some employees reported that the equipment is checked daily which in fact was not true.

Actions Taken
