Labor generally represents the largest cost component of a distribution center’s operating budget. Yet relatively few distribution operations try to optimize this critical resource through a Labor Management System (LMS).
Distribution centers that lack a comprehensive labor management system typically operate between 60 to 70 percent of their potential productivity.
Implementing a comprehensive labor management program that includes engineered work standards and an LMS can allow a distribution facility to operate at or near 100 percent productivity.
An LMS can help a distribution operation improve labor productivity by:
- Reporting direct and indirect labor activity compared to historical data
- Reporting labor activity against engineered labor standards
- Supporting incentive based pay programs
- Providing key input in the labor planning process.
