Work productivity is a key factor in business performance, directly impacting an organization’s ability to achieve its primary goal: profitability.

However, measuring productivity can be challenging for employers.

When done incorrectly, it may be perceived as excessive interference with employees’ comfort zones.

That’s why this type of analysis should be carried out by external experts experienced in using proven assessment tools.

Methods for Work Analysis and Productivity Measurement

Have questions?

Work Sampling Studies

Employee productivity, defined as the ratio between planned working time and actual time spent on tasks under given conditions, can be effectively measured using work sampling studies.

LUQAM’s proprietary methodology is applicable in both office environments and production floors.

Work sampling is often complemented by job audits, which involve analyzing role descriptions, work instructions, competency matrices, and comparing them with observed reality.

These audits also evaluate communication flow, task delegation, and responsibility structures, offering a comprehensive picture of employee effectiveness.

Time Study

The aim of a time study is to determine the optimal time needed to complete a task under specific conditions, performed by employees with defined competencies.

This applies to both repetitive and non-repetitive activities.

Time studies are commonly used for establishing standardized work times.

Simulation-Based Optimization

In industrial projects requiring workforce optimization or headcount adjustment, simulation tools prove extremely effective.

Advanced simulators can calculate numerous production and financial KPIs, and visualize how changes impact critical indicators like Technical Manufacturing Cost (TMC), cycle time, WIP, productivity, and workload.

Workday Observation (Workday Photography)

Workday photography is primarily used to analyze individual productivity but can also help assess employee competencies and information flow efficiency.

Key Metrics
in Work Sampling
Studies

Work sampling focuses on analyzing three critical workload categories:

core task load

additional task load

value-adding task load

This method helps answer questions like:

The collected data is analyzed statistically and from an optimization standpoint. Audit reports include clear, actionable recommendations for improving workplace organization and increasing overall productivity.

Let’s talk!

How much time is spent on standard tasks?

Are employees performing activities relevant to their role?

Are there unplanned interruptions during the workday?

Are employees solely engaged in work-related duties?

What factors cause employees to lose focus on priority tasks?

Example of
a Workload Simulation

A simulation engine powered by advanced algorithms enables calculations that would be difficult or impossible manually. Once built, simulations can be reused and updated for future scenario testing.

This helps identify optimal solutions and supports data-driven decision-making based on the combined insight of simulation architects and operational consultants.
