Existing methods of tracking productivity have two major drawbacks, the information gets to the presser way too late to create meaningful change, and creating average PPH goals for a presser, regardless of the type of garments they are actually finishing, gives you irrelevant data.
Timeliness of feedback is critical for meaningful change. When pressers find out they
performed poorly yesterday, you still have a day of poor performance and wasted payroll
dollars. Pressers have no way of judging whether or not they increased the 2 or 3 pieces per hour you asked of them.
Averaged piece counting and averaged goals across a day gives you very poor information. You may ask a presser to perform at 25 PPH, but what if they did polo shirts half the day and their average score was 37 PPH for the day? Did they perform at 140% efficiency, or were they really at 100% efficiency for the actual work they were doing? Tracking work by garment classifications which should have different PPH goals is next to impossible with current manual counting methods
While daily counting and average goals are a step in the right direction, you will not be
able to get the additional 2-5 pieces per hour of productivity that can be achieved through the efficient use of time, which will add thousands of dollars to your bottom line.
