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 LMS 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. Once all the factors are evaluated, a goal is determined, and entered into the [Configure Labor Structure/General Tab] tab for that job.
