The Labor Productivity Report is an excellent way for the manager to see how their operations perform from a true productivity basis. In order for this report to be correctly produced it is necessary for the Administrator to work with the manager and decide how they want to review productivity for the various positions. The administrator will then attach the appropriate measurement to the KBI that is to be measured. For instance, housekeeping might want to measure rooms cleaned per shift or perhaps minutes per room. Restaurants might want to look at covers per shift or minutes per cover.

  • Actual - The —The actual hours used from the time and attendance system.
  • Required - The —The total time required based on "pure" standards.  This means the actual standard with any shift minimums and staffing guidelines removed.
  • Standard - The —The time required with all staffing guidelines in place based on the actual volumes experienced.
  • Variance - The —The variance columns simply compare the variances between these above mentioned numbers.
  • Unit of Measure - This —This is the unit that was decided by the manager and the administrator.  It could be minutes per unit, units per shift or a number of other possibilities that can be discussed with the administrator.
  • KBI Volume - This —This is the volume of the KBI that is being measured for the time period being reported.  It might be housekeeping rooms, restaurant dinner covers or whatever is attached to the position being examined.
