Labor Effectiveness Report
The Labor Effectiveness report provides a weekly summary of the same information that is displayed in the Daily Operating report. The report calculates the variance in projected and actual volumes, as well as job forecast and scheduled variances.
There might be different units of measurement associated with work that is produced before the schedule day. Although daily figures might be distorted, they will balance out over the course of the week. An example of this type of situation is banquet production. Sometimes productions take place 2 to 3 days before to the function, thus the hours for the function day might be lower than standard, and days prior might be higher.
You can also run the Labor Effectiveness report for a shorter period time to assist in evaluating overtime usage by department or job. This report summarizes by department while still listing individual jobs.

|
Hours/FTEs | Select to display units as hours or FTEs (Full Time Equivalents). See Units displayed as FTEs. Determined by dividing actual hours by 40. The resultant value tells you how many people worked in this job (or department or division) if each employee worked 40 hours. If the report period is greater than seven days, LMS will divide the number of days by seven to arrive at a standard week for use in calculating FTE's |
