The Labour Productivity page helps production and operations teams understand how labour capacity, attendance, recorded working time, output, overtime, and quality are distributed across crews and workers.

It is designed to support:

Workload balancing

Crew planning

Production coaching

Shift-capacity reviews

Attendance analysis

Overtime control

Training decisions

Process improvement

Labour Productivity is intended for operational coaching and capacity planning—not employee surveillance.

The page helps managers answer questions such as:

How many labour-hours were recorded?

Which crews are carrying the most workload?

How much output was produced?

How many labour-hours were required per output unit?

How much scheduled time became recorded production work?

Were workers present for their expected shifts?

How much explicit overtime was recorded?

Which crews have recurring low-utilization days?

How much rework was associated with labour activity?

Are staffing levels balanced between shifts and crews?

📍 Where to Find Labour Productivity

Navigate to:

Productivity → Labour

The Productivity menu also contains:

Workstations

Production Stages

The page displays labour information according to the logged-in user’s permissions.

Labour Productivity Access

Labour Productivity contains sensitive workforce information.

Access should be granted only to authorized users such as:

Production Managers

Operations Managers

Production Supervisors

Workforce Planners

Department Managers

HR or Workforce Administrators where operationally required

Labour Productivity access can be separated into two visibility levels.

Crew and Team Access

Allows the user to review aggregated information such as:

Crew names

Headcount

Crew man-hours

Crew output

Crew utilization

Attendance

Overtime

Rework

Individual worker names and personal drill-downs remain hidden when the user does not have individual-level access.

Individual Labour Access

Allows authorized users to:

Expand crew rows

View named labour records

Search for individual workers

Open individual Labour Productivity details

Review personal timesheet and shift information

Compare actual efficiency with peers and standards

When individual names do not appear, this may be caused by the user’s access level rather than missing labour data.

How Labour Productivity Works

Labour Productivity combines:

Resolved work schedules

Recorded production progress

Attendance and schedule exceptions

Labour attribution on production records

Fabritec derives labour timesheets from this information.

Users do not normally need to manually enter a separate timesheet for every worker.

Instead, supervisors maintain:

Work calendars

Shifts

Labour assignments

Attendance exceptions

Overtime exceptions

Production records

Fabritec then determines:

Scheduled hours

Worked hours

Idle hours

Overtime

Attendance

Workforce utilization

Labour output

Labour efficiency

Derived Labour Timesheets

For each labour and day, Fabritec derives the following values.

Scheduled Hours

Scheduled Hours come from the worker’s resolved shift.

The resolved schedule may consider:

Shift assignment

Crew assignment

Rotation

Temporary shift cover

Default shift

Work calendar

Late or Early-Out exceptions

Absence or Leave exceptions

Scheduled hours are based on working time after applicable break rules.

A full Absence or Leave exception removes the scheduled hours for that day from the worker’s present-time calculation.

Worked Hours

Worked Hours come from production durations linked to the labour user.

When several workers participate in the same production operation, each participant receives the full recorded duration as labour effort.

For example:

Three workers participate in a two-hour operation.

The operation contributes:

2 machine-hours to the workstation

2 worked hours to each worker

6 total man-hours to the crew

This is intentional because man-hours measure human effort rather than workstation wall-clock time.

Overtime

Overtime includes only hours recorded through an explicit Overtime schedule exception.

Fabritec does not automatically assume that every hour above the scheduled shift is overtime.

This prevents estimated, overlapping, shared, or backdated production durations from being incorrectly treated as payroll-related overtime.

Idle Hours

Idle Hours represent scheduled labour time that did not become recorded production work.

Calculation:

Idle Hours = Maximum of 0 and Scheduled Hours − Worked Hours

Idle time may include:

Waiting for material

Waiting for drawings

Waiting for inspection

Waiting for workstation availability

Non-production assignments

Missing production records

Work not linked to the correct labour user

Shared Production Attribution

When multiple workers participate in one production record:

Each worker receives the full operation duration as man-hours.

Each worker can receive individual productivity credit for the operation’s output.

Crew and company physical-output totals count the operation only once.

Individual credited outputs should therefore not be added together to calculate total factory output.

Fabritec uses separate aggregate calculations to prevent the same physical production from being counted multiple times.

Night-Shift Attribution

When a shift crosses midnight, production is assigned to the shift’s start date.

For example:

A Night Shift starts on July 20 at 10:00 PM and ends on July 21 at 6:00 AM.

Production recorded at 2:00 AM on July 21 is included under the July 20 Night Shift.

This keeps labour, production, and shift reports aligned.

Labour Productivity KPI Cards

The KPI cards summarize all labour records included in the current period and filters.

They include:

Man-Hours

Average Output

Hours per Unit

Workforce Utilization

Attendance

Overtime

Rework Percentage

Fleet and crew ratio metrics are calculated using combined totals.

Fabritec does not calculate the simple average of each person’s percentage.

For example:

Crew Utilization = Total Worked Hours ÷ Total Scheduled Hours

This means a worker scheduled for 40 hours has more influence on the crew result than a worker scheduled for only 5 hours.

A dash, —, means Fabritec cannot calculate the value.

It does not mean zero.

Man-Hours

Man-Hours show the total recorded labour working time for the selected crews and period.

Calculation:

Man-Hours = Sum of Recorded Worked Hours for All Included Labour Users

Man-hours measure human effort.

They can exceed workstation machine-hours when several workers participate in the same operation.

Example:

Two workers complete one three-hour operation.

The result is:

Machine-Hours: 3 hours

Man-Hours: 6 hours

Average Output

Average Output shows the average physical output associated with the included labour groups or records.

The unit follows the selected output unit.

Examples include:

Average Output (t)

Average Output (m²)

Average Output (m)

Average Output (m³)

Average Output (pcs)

Use this KPI to compare production output across:

Crews

Shifts

Departments

Reporting periods

Only qualifying physical output is included.

Repeated rework does not create duplicate factory output.

Hours per Unit

Hours per Unit measures how many labour-hours were required for each output unit.

Calculation:

Hours per Unit = Total Man-Hours ÷ Total Output

Examples include:

h/t

h/m²

h/m

h/m³

h/pcs

A lower value normally means fewer labour-hours were required per output unit.

A dash may appear when:

Output is zero

Man-hours are unavailable

The selected items do not contain the required measurement

No valid output denominator exists

Workforce Utilization

Workforce Utilization measures how much scheduled present time became recorded production work.

Calculation:

Workforce Utilization = Total Worked Hours ÷ Total Scheduled Present Hours

This is different from workstation utilization.

Labour Utilization compares worked hours with the labour schedule.

Workstation Utilization compares actual machine time with staffed workstation capacity.

A worker can be present without recording production work.

In that case:

Attendance may remain high.

Workforce Utilization may be low.

Utilization Above 100%

Workforce Utilization can exceed 100%.

Example:

A worker is scheduled for 8 hours but has 11 recorded worked hours.

Calculation:

11 ÷ 8 = 137.5% Utilization

This may indicate:

Production recorded beyond the scheduled shift

Missing Overtime exception

Incorrect shift assignment

Backdated production

Overlapping production durations

Shared-work attribution

Production records requiring review

Utilization above 100% is a review signal.

It is not automatically treated as an error.

Attendance

Attendance measures how much of the expected baseline time the labour force was present for.

Calculation:

Attendance = Total Present Hours ÷ Total Baseline Hours

Baseline Hours

Baseline Hours represent what the worker was expected to work before attendance exceptions were applied.

Present Hours

Present Hours equal the baseline after deductions such as:

Absence

Leave

Late arrival

Early departure

Attendance and utilization answer different questions.

Attendance asks:

Was the worker present for the expected shift?

Utilization asks:

How much scheduled present time became recorded production work?

Attendance and Utilization Example

A crew has:

Baseline Hours: 100

Present Hours: 90

Worked Hours: 60

The results are:

Attendance = 90 ÷ 100 = 90%

Workforce Utilization = 60 ÷ 90 = 66.7%

This means:

The crew attended 90% of its expected time.

Two-thirds of the present time became recorded production work.

Overtime

Overtime shows the total hours recorded through explicit Overtime schedule exceptions.

Fabritec does not automatically derive overtime from long production durations.

For example:

A worker records 11 worked hours during an 8-hour shift without an Overtime exception.

The results may be:

Scheduled Hours: 8

Worked Hours: 11

Overtime: 0

Utilization: 137.5%

The additional three hours remain included in:

Man-Hours

Worked Hours

Productivity

Efficiency

However, they remain unclassified as overtime until the applicable exception is recorded.

Rework Percentage

Rework Percentage measures the share of processed production attributed to rework.

Calculation:

Rework % = Rework-Processed Quantity ÷ Total Processed Quantity × 100

Rework activity still contributes to:

Man-Hours

Worked Hours

Production effort

It is not counted again as new physical output.

A high Rework Percentage may indicate:

Process-quality issues

Incorrect production instructions

Drawing or revision problems

Training needs

Equipment problems

Incorrect process parameters

Material issues

A dash means Fabritec cannot calculate the ratio from the available production data.

Crew / Shift Timeline

The Crew / Shift Timeline displays resolved crew shifts with worked-hours fill and output context.

Each timeline band represents a resolved crew shift.

The timeline combines:

Crew

Date

Shift

Scheduled hours

Worked hours

Output in the selected unit

The filled portion shows worked hours compared with scheduled hours.

The displayed label provides output context.

Use the timeline to identify:

Shifts with low recorded work

Shifts with high labour usage

Differences between scheduled and worked hours

Output achieved during each shift

Crews with repeated low utilization

Work concentrated on specific shifts

Why the Timeline May Be Empty

When no records match the selected period and filters, Fabritec displays:

No labour productivity data matches the current filters.

Possible causes include:

No resolved labour shifts

No crews linked to the schedule

No production progress attributed to labour

No data in the selected period

Current filters exclude all matching records

The user does not have access to the required information

An empty timeline does not always mean that no production occurred.

Production may have been recorded without labour attribution.

Crew Summary

The Crew Summary table provides one row for each crew or team.

Visible columns can include:

Column	Function
Crew / Team	Name of the crew, team, or labour group
Group Kind	Type of labour grouping
Current Shift	Current resolved shift
Headcount	Number of labour users in the group
Man-Hours	Total recorded labour hours
Output	Physical output in the selected unit
Hours per Unit	Labour-hours required per output unit
Workforce Utilization	Worked hours compared with scheduled hours
Attendance	Present time compared with baseline hours
Overtime	Explicit overtime hours
Rework %	Rework quantity compared with processed quantity

Additional columns may be available by scrolling horizontally.

Crew / Team

Displays the configured crew or labour-group name.

Examples include:

Cutting Crew

Welding Team A

Rolling Crew

Painting Team

Night Shift Crew

Ungrouped

Group Kind

Identifies the type of grouping used for the row.

An example is:

LabourGroup

Current Shift

Displays the current shift resolved for the crew.

A dash appears when no current shift is available.

Headcount

Shows the number of labour users assigned to the crew or group.

Headcount helps managers compare:

Team size

Output

Man-hours

Utilization

Staffing balance

A larger crew should not be compared with a smaller crew using output alone.

Review output together with:

Man-hours

Hours per unit

Utilization

Attendance

Ungrouped Labour

The Ungrouped row contains labour users who are not assigned to a configured labour group or crew.

A large Ungrouped headcount can reduce the value of crew-level analysis.

Assign production labour to meaningful groups such as:

Cutting Crew

Welding Crew A

Welding Crew B

Rolling Team

Painting Team

Day Shift Crew

Night Shift Crew

Expanding Crew Rows

An expand control can appear beside a crew row.

When the user has individual-level Labour Productivity access, expanding the row can display the crew’s named members.

Individual rows may include:

Labour name

Worked hours

Output

Hours per unit

Utilization

Attendance

Overtime

Rework

Users without individual access see only the aggregated crew row.

Staffing Coverage

The Staffing Coverage section compares scheduled and worked headcount by shift.

It helps managers understand whether each shift had the expected labour coverage.

The section can reveal:

Scheduled workers who recorded no work

Worked headcount below planned headcount

Overstaffed shifts

Understaffed shifts

Differences between crews

Repeated shortages

Unexpected labour concentration

Use Staffing Coverage with Attendance and Utilization.

A lower worked headcount does not automatically mean absence.

Workers may have been present but assigned to:

Non-production work

Training

Maintenance support

Material handling

Other operational duties

When no matching information exists, Fabritec displays:

No labour productivity data matches the current filters.

Labour Utilization Heatmap

The Labour Utilization Heatmap displays crew utilization by day.

It is designed to help managers review recurring crew patterns without automatically exposing individual worker names.

Each row represents a crew.

Each column represents a date.

Each cell represents one crew-day.

Heatmap Calculation

Each cell uses:

Utilization = Worked Hours ÷ Scheduled Hours

A dash means the scheduled-hours denominator is unavailable.

A dash does not mean zero utilization.

Using the Heatmap

Use the heatmap to identify:

Crews with recurring low utilization

Days without a scheduled baseline

High-utilization periods

Work concentrated in one team

Crews scheduled but recording little production

Recurring weak weekdays

Possible unclassified extra hours

Review heatmap results together with:

Attendance

Crew timeline

Workstation availability

Material readiness

Production records

Schedule exceptions

Opening Individual Labour Details

When the user has the required individual-level access, a named labour row can be opened for detailed analysis.

The individual Labour Productivity page can include:

Labour profile

Current crew and shift

Skills

KPI cards

Derived timesheet

Shift and rotation history

Stations worked

Production stages worked

Efficiency comparisons

Quality results

Individual Labour Header

The header can display:

Labour name

Labour title

Labour group

Crew

Current shift

Qualified production stages

Qualified workstations

This helps managers interpret productivity within the worker’s actual role and assigned work.

Individual KPI Cards

The individual KPI strip can include:

Output

Man-Hours

Hours per Unit

Workforce Utilization

Overtime

Rework Percentage

These values follow the selected period and output unit.

Individual Timesheet Panel

The Timesheet panel displays the worker’s derived daily records.

It can include:

Scheduled Hours

Worked Hours

Overtime

Idle Hours

Daily Utilization

Approval Status

Recorded Exceptions

Exception Notes

Possible exceptions include:

Late

Early Out

Absent

Leave

Overtime

Shift Cover

Shift Change

Approved days can be preserved as snapshots so later scheduling changes do not alter the previously approved record.

Shift and Rotation History

The Shift and Rotation History section shows the worker’s resolved shift for each date.

It can include:

Fixed shifts

Rotating shifts

Temporary covers

Shift changes

Crew movements

Use it to answer questions such as:

Which shift was the worker assigned to?

Was the worker covering another shift?

Did the worker move between day and night shifts?

Was the production recorded inside the correct shift?

Stations and Stages Worked

This section shows where the worker’s production effort was recorded.

It can include:

Workstation

Production stage

Man-hours

Output

Share of total worked hours

Use it to understand:

Which equipment the worker used

Which production processes they performed

Whether their workload was concentrated in one area

Whether they worked outside their normal assignment

Individual Efficiency

The Efficiency section can compare three rates:

Actual

Peers

Standard

Each rate uses an hours-per-output-unit structure.

Lower is normally better.

Actual Rate

Calculation:

Actual Rate = Individual Man-Hours ÷ Individual Output

This shows the worker’s recorded efficiency for the selected period.

Peer Rate

Calculation:

Peer Rate = Total Peer Man-Hours ÷ Total Peer Output

Peers normally include workers from the same:

Crew

Labour group

Operational team

The peer result is volume-weighted.

It is not a simple average of each person’s rate.

When no suitable crew or peer group exists, Fabritec displays a dash.

Standard Rate

The Standard Rate is based on the configured default durations for the production stages included in the worker’s actual work mix.

This allows the standard to reflect whether the worker performed:

Cutting

Bending

Welding

Painting

Several different production processes

Standards are only as reliable as the configured stage durations.

Efficiency Variance

Variance can be calculated as:

Variance % = (Actual Rate − Reference Rate) ÷ Reference Rate × 100

A positive result means the actual rate used more hours per unit than the reference.

A negative result means the actual rate used fewer hours per unit.

Review Peer and Standard comparisons together.

For example:

A worker may appear slower than peers but faster than the configured standard because the worker completed a more difficult production mix.

Individual Quality

The Quality section can display:

Rework Quantity

Rework Hours

First-Pass Yield

Rework Percentage

Rework hours remain part of the worker’s total effort.

A quality issue should not be assessed from the Rework Percentage alone.

Also review:

Production stage

Workstation

Drawings

Material

Inspection results

Process parameters

Training requirements

Implementing Labour Productivity

Reliable Labour Productivity depends on workforce setup, schedules, exceptions, and production records.

Follow this implementation sequence.

1. Grant Labour Productivity Access

Grant the appropriate access level to authorized users.

Decide whether each role requires:

Crew and team aggregates only

Named individual records and drill-downs

Avoid granting individual-level access to users who do not require personal workforce information.

2. Configure Labour Titles

Create the labour roles used by the factory.

Examples include:

CNC Operator

Welder

Fitter

Rolling Machine Operator

Painter

General Helper

Quality Inspector

Labour titles support accurate workforce organization and assignment.

3. Create Labour Users

Create or activate the users who perform production work.

Confirm that each labour user has:

Correct name

Labour title

Department

Required role

Production access

Current employment or availability status

4. Create Crews and Labour Groups

Organize labour users into meaningful teams.

Examples include:

Cutting Crew

Welding Crew A

Welding Crew B

Rolling Team

Painting Team

Day Shift Crew

Night Shift Crew

The group structure should reflect how production is actually managed.

Avoid leaving most production users under Ungrouped.

5. Configure Production Stages and Workstations

Make sure the related production setup is complete.

This includes:

Production Stages

Workstations

Routes

Labour requirements

Workstation access

Fabritec needs accurate production relationships to determine where labour effort and output occurred.

6. Configure Work Calendars

Create the work calendars used by the factory.

Configure:

Working days

Non-working days

Holidays

Working hours

Breaks

Calendar exceptions

7. Configure Shifts

Create the factory’s real operating shifts.

Examples include:

Day Shift

Night Shift

Weekend Shift

Overtime Shift

Configure:

Shift name

Start time

End time

Working duration

Applicable calendar

Rotation rules where required

Resolved shifts provide the scheduled-hours denominator for Labour Productivity.

8. Assign Crews and Workers

Use the scheduling workflow to assign:

Crews

Individual workers

Workstations

Production areas

Shifts

Applicable dates

Without resolved labour schedules, Fabritec cannot calculate complete:

Attendance

Workforce Utilization

Crew Timeline

Staffing Coverage

Heatmap values

9. Record Attendance Exceptions

Supervisors should record applicable schedule exceptions such as:

Absence

Leave

Late Arrival

Early Departure

Overtime

Shift Cover

Shift Change

These records support accurate attendance and overtime.

10. Record Production with Labour Attribution

Every applicable production record should contain the labour users who performed the work.

Confirm that production activity contains:

Correct production stage

Correct workstation

Correct labour users

Operation duration

Processed quantity

Successful output

Rework quantity where applicable

Production recorded without labour attribution may appear in Workstation Productivity but not in Labour Productivity.

11. Complete Item Measurements

Make sure production items contain the measurements required for reporting.

Depending on the selected unit, complete:

Weight

Area

Length

Volume

Quantity

Missing measurements prevent items from contributing to the selected physical-output calculation.

12. Record Rework Correctly

Use the correct Production and Quality Control workflows to record rework.

This supports:

Rework Percentage

Rework Hours

First-Pass Yield

Coaching

Process-improvement analysis

13. Validate Labour Productivity

Navigate to:

Productivity → Labour

Then:

Select the reporting period.

Select the required output unit.

Apply a crew filter.

Review Man-Hours.

Review Average Output.

Compare Hours per Unit.

14.

Expand crew rows where permitted.

15.

Open individual labour details where permitted.

16.

Review timesheet and shift history.

17.

Confirm production is linked to the correct labour users.

Complete Operational Example

A Welding Crew contains five workers.

During one week, the resolved records show:

Baseline Hours: 200

Scheduled Present Hours: 180

Worked Hours: 135

Explicit Overtime: 10

Output: 45 tonnes

Rework Quantity: 2 tonnes

The page calculates:

Attendance

180 ÷ 200 = 90%

The crew was present for 90% of its expected baseline time.

Workforce Utilization

135 ÷ 180 = 75%

The crew converted 75% of its scheduled present time into recorded production work.

Hours per Tonne

135 ÷ 45 = 3 h/t

The crew used three labour-hours for each tonne of output.

The manager should investigate the remaining 45 scheduled present hours.

Possible reasons include:

Waiting for material

Waiting for drawings

Waiting for inspection

Workstation downtime

Non-production assignments

Missing production records

The labour users have not been assigned to configured crews or labour groups.

Production Exists but Man-Hours Are Zero

Production records may not contain:

Labour users

Valid operation duration

Correct production attribution

Man-Hours Exceed Machine-Hours

Several workers participated in the same operation.

Each participant received the full operation duration as labour effort.

Output Appears for Several Individuals

Each participating worker may receive individual productivity credit.

Crew and company physical-output totals still count the operation only once.

Governance Rules

Labour Productivity should be used for coaching and workload balancing.

Access to personal labour information should be restricted.

Crews should reflect the factory’s real workforce structure.

Work calendars and shifts should remain current.

Attendance exceptions should be recorded accurately.

Overtime should be recorded explicitly.

Production should be linked to the correct labour users.

Shared labour work should not be interpreted as duplicate factory output.

Man-hours can exceed machine-hours.

Attendance and utilization should not be treated as the same metric.

Utilization above 100% should be investigated.

A dash must not be interpreted as zero.

Individual performance should be reviewed with work mix and production context.

Rework should be investigated with process, workstation, material, and quality information.

Short periods should not be used for isolated performance judgments.

Current-period information should be treated as in progress.

⭐ Best Practices

Use Labour Productivity for coaching rather than isolated ranking.

Start with crew-level results before reviewing individuals.

Assign every production worker to a meaningful crew.

Keep labour titles and departments accurate.

Maintain current work calendars and shifts.

Record absence, leave, lateness, and overtime through schedule exceptions.

Link labour users to every applicable production record.

Compare Attendance with Workforce Utilization.

Review Hours per Unit together with the production work mix.

Investigate utilization above 100% rather than treating it automatically as high performance.

Review low utilization with material, drawing, inspection, maintenance, and workstation conditions.

Record rework accurately.

Review peer and standard comparisons together.

Validate stage default durations before relying on standard efficiency.

Protect named labour data through role-based access.

Use crew heatmaps to identify recurring patterns.

Review several periods before making staffing or training decisions.

Avoid comparing crews using output alone.

Consider headcount, man-hours, efficiency, attendance, and quality together.
