Workforce Productivity
Review workforce utilisation in the context of tasks, time and working conditions.
Overview
The need it addresses
Personnel Productivity is positioned to evaluate on which jobs and under which conditions the workforce is used. The aim is not merely to rank people by pieces per person, but to make visible together the planned duration of the work, the actual duration, the quality result and waiting conditions.
How does it work?
Personnel, team, shift and task information is linked to the relevant work order or project. Hours worked, completed jobs, support tasks, rework and reasons for waiting are collected according to the chosen recording method. The business can compare planned and actual workforce; it can examine why a particular task needed extra time.
Comparisons that ignore products of different difficulty, experience levels or machine conditions are not meaningful. The same employee may have produced fewer pieces because they were assigned a harder job. Machine breakdowns, material shortages and quality holds should also be separated as losses outside the employee's control.
Existing infrastructure and data
Existing HR, shift and time and attendance records can be used. A clock-in record does not mean that the person did a particular job during that time; it is evaluated together with the job record. A machine running is also not by itself proof that personnel were present on the shop floor.
Example use
One of two assembly teams takes longer on its work. The review shows that the teams' product varieties and times waiting for missing material differ. Management evaluates not only the total time but the reasons that make up that time.
Suitable industries
Assembly, labour-intensive production, subcontract manufacturing, maintenance, field services, warehouse and project teams. Access to individual performance data is limited according to task and responsibility.
