How Do You Calculate Manpower Productivity Daily, Weekly, or Monthly in Your Organization?

Dear Sir/Madam,

Please help me with how to calculate the daily, weekly, or monthly manpower productivity in an organization.

With kind regards, Hemant.. 😢

Hello friend,

First of all, you will need to define "Standard Work" for each operator. Once the time study is done, it is possible to calculate the number of products produced at a particular workstation in a given unit of time (say per shift). This assumes that there is no breakdown of the machine and material is available for the process.

Therefore, if the number of products actually produced is divided by the theoretically calculated value, it will give you productivity (multiply by 100 for describing in "%" terms).

There is another method: if a shift is defined as 460 minutes (8 hrs X 60 min = 480 minutes - 20 minutes for rest/changeover). If the actual output produced is equivalent to 370 minutes, then 370/460 is the manpower productivity. Your industrial engineering department will help you with this calculation.

Hope this helps.

Nishikant's reply is excellent. Only the industrial engineering department can evaluate jobs and set the productivity norms. The HR department can support them in this task.
