Each employee in a business has a set of duties, responsibilities and products they produce. These duties are generally assigned to a post.
A post is really more than just a job title. A post describes the duties to be performed, responsibilities and products or services produced by the employee assigned to it. For example, a Security Guard performs certain duties and is responsible for the security of the area he or she is assigned to. Similarly, an executive has certain duties. A receptionist also has a certain set of duties, some of which are common to all receptionists and other duties might be specific your company.
A post may have an employee assigned to carry out its duties or may not. Even when no employee is assigned to a post, someone in the business is doing that work to some degree, even if it is left to the owner to do.
At this point you will set up Management by Statistics to mirror how your business is currently organized.

When done entering all of the posts and assigning the appropriate employees to them you will see a list of posts like the follow image.
When these posts are viewed by users in Management by Statistics it will look like the following:
When the posts are set up to match or mirrior how your company is organized the Management by Statistics software becomes easier for users and executives. It is easy to see that Rose is the Office Manager and she reports to the Owner, Adam. It is also easy to see that the two mechanic posts are unfilled.
