Labor and Productivity Measurement
Realize 100-percent productivity from 100 percent of your workforce.
If your operations aren’t running at peak efficiency, then you may be leaving money on the shelves or in your distribution network every day.
- Do you have the right amount of labor to meet service needs?
- Are your managers and employees motivated and involved?
- Do you have discrete labor standards that truly account for variable elements of your operation?
- Are you sure you’re getting a fair day’s work from your employees?
- Do you feel like you’re paying too much for performance incentives?
West Monroe Partners can help you achieve a higher standard of productivity.
Our labor management consultants and industrial engineers improve workforce performance and eliminate waste by developing operational efficiencies in your distribution centers, retail stores and throughout your supply chain.
West Monroe Partners utilizes a unique engineered labor standards methodology to build discrete standards that drive scheduling and task management—an approach that combines the use of pre-determined time systems, time and motion studies, and work sampling to develop discrete standards supported not just by management, but by employees and unions as well.
Our approach creates tighter standards than other methods, enabling you to:
- Achieve sustainable labor savings
- Control costs
- Maximize investments
- Improve employee satisfaction and customer service
Your labor schedule and measurement system is only as good as your standards.
High-quality, engineered discrete labor standards provide the ability to truly measure the effectiveness against all the unique aspects of your operation.
If you have not implemented labor standards, we can help you start now—and avoid many of the typical challenges associated with measuring and managing workforce productivity. If you already have labor standards, we can help you make them more accurate, more discrete, and more consistent.
