Calculation of labor productivity and ways to improve it
Everyone, perhaps, sooner or later understands thattime is a resource limited, so spending it in vain is an unacceptable luxury. It's the same with companies. In order to achieve success and stay afloat, they simply need to strive for high performance indicators, and, therefore, constantly calculate the productivity of labor and seek means to increase it. To do this, it is necessary first of all to analyze the annual, day and hour output of one employee, as well as the labor intensity of a unit of output. Then analysts examine the factors of labor productivity and make their conclusion about how the situation in the enterprise can be improved.
- The planned percentage growth in output per person, as well as a reduction in the labor intensity of any of the products produced.
- Relative (conditional) and absolute (real) savings in the number of employees.
- The share of the increase in output.
- The replacement of labor with capital, that is, the technical re-equipment of all production and the introduction of the latest achievements of technology in order to increase its effectiveness.
- Intensification of work. The enterprise should implement administrative measures aimed at accelerating the performance of individual production tasks.
- Improving the organization of labor, eliminating production losses and searching for optimal methods for managing production processes.
With these factors, the enterprise can increase the rate of profit and reduce the share of labor costs in the cost of the product.
