We took a very similar approach, though we did do some shoring up of the MES system to limit some gross negligent errors, the ownership of that process was given to the employees. We have the added value of tying work center efficiencies to their review scores as well, operations (or the quantities) they do not claim will inevitably drag their scores down, we have seen direct evidence of improvement in labor accuracies because of this. With limited customizations and direct ties to performance evaluation, labor errors are extremely low.

I agree with the non-technical solution. Proper record keeping is part of each employee's job. We include failure to clock in or out as half a point on their attendance record, same as being late or leaving early. I also have an extra license of MES for the supervisors to share so they can clock out errant employees from their office and make the corrections in Labor Entry.

I have an issue with an automated solution in that it does not fill in how many units an employee has completed as it really does not have any way of knowing. We have implemented a change in process where supervisors are required to review their employees time on a daily / weekly basis for fat finger mistakes, over clocking, efficiency issues, etc As part of this process the supervisors are required to review employee’s time either at the end of their day or at the beginning of the next (up to them). If they don’t then they have a pile of ugly corrections to make.

Understandably, no matter how well trained your employees are there is going to be an occasional slip up, but since implementing these requirements these have diminished significantly.
