The Labours page allows you to manage your workforce, track their roles, assign them to shifts, and link them with Production Stages.
This ensures efficient task allocation and accurate capacity calculations across the entire factory.

With the Labours module, you can:

Add and manage your workers

Assign job titles (skills)

Assign shifts

Link workers to specific production stages

Organize your labour resources for better planning and tracking
