In any production of products, one of the main goals pursued by the company's management is to obtain a result. The only question is how much effort and resources will be required in the work process to achieve the main goal. To determine the efficiency of the enterprise, the concept of "labor productivity" was introduced, which is an indicator of the productivity of the staff. The work that one person can do per unit of time is conventionally called "development".
It is very important for each enterprise to get a high result and at the same time spend as little resources on production (this includes electricity charges , rents, etc.). You can determine labor productivity by the formula: P = O / H, where O - is an indicator of the volume of work per unit of time, and H is the number of workers.
The most important task in any enterprise that manufactures goods or provides services is to increase productivity. At the same time, there are a number of measures that have been taken to reduce the amount of costs necessary for the work process. Thus, over the period of development of the enterprise, labor productivity may change.
As a rule, several groups of factors are classified that can influence the change, namely, the growth of production indicators. First of all, this is an economic and geographical factor, which includes the availability of free labor resources, water, electricity, building materials, as well as the distance to communications, terrain, etc. Equally important is the importance of accelerating scientific and technical progress, which promotes the introduction of new generations of modern technology and the use of advanced technologies and automated systems. It can also be considered that labor productivity also depends on the factor of structural changes, which implies a change in the share of components and purchased semi-finished products, as well as the structure of production and the specific gravity of certain types of products.
The great importance nevertheless remains with the social (human) moment, because it is concern for social benefits that underlies the increase in labor productivity. These include: concern about the physical health of a person, the level of his intellectual development, professionalism, etc.
Growth factors of labor productivity are the most important component of the entire work process, because it is they that affect the pace of development of any enterprise and, accordingly, contribute to increased profits.
It is also worth noting the organizational moment, which determines the level of production and labor management. It may include improving the organization of enterprise management, improving personnel, material and technical training.
Speaking of productivity, it is impossible to ignore the intensity of labor. This concept is a reflection of the indicator of the amount of mental and physical energy spent by an employee for a certain period of working time.
It is very important to determine the optimal intensity for a given workflow, because excessive activity can lead to inevitable loss of productivity. As a rule, this occurs as a result of human overwork, the occurrence of occupational diseases, injuries, etc.
It is worth noting that the main indicators that determine the intensity of labor were highlighted. First of all, it is a person’s workload. This allows you to determine the intensity of the workflow and, accordingly, the feasibility of costs. At the same time, it is customary to calculate the pace of work, that is, the frequency of actions relative to a unit of time. Taking these factors into account, as a rule, there are certain standards at the enterprise, based on the indicators of which a production work plan is established.
