Principles of Job Productivity and Assurance

Job productivity has historically been measured from the accounting perspective. This method of measurement has alienated the labor; as a result this data is not useful. This course will teach the principle exercised successfully by other industries of measuring productivity from the operator's point of view. The participant will learn how to establish a useful productivity measuring method. This will help them to improve productivity by making it more visible. The Job Productivity Assurance and Control(JPAC) is the direct application of Statistical Process Control (SPC) to projects. Just like SPC, JPAC will establish the baseline of job productivity and at regular intervals controls and assures the adherence to project goals. Project Goals are broken down into control elements, which will be monitored by JPAC. Control elements are such items as:

  • Labor
  • Change Order
  • Overtime
  • Schedule
  • Estimate
  • Material handling and procurement.
    • Using the existing processes, software and information technology tools, JPAC will extract data from the accounting, project management, inventory management and other areas of the organization and create trend monitoring graphs. The total process capabilities will be monitored and reported. JPAC is based on the "fix as you go" philosophy of operation, which will reduce the cost of repairs and decrease surprises at the end of the job. An additional function of JPAC is "End of the Job" cost and profit prediction. Using JPAC's forecast, the "Work in Progress(WIP)" can be accurately calculated and earned revenues realized. this will allow the organization to have better cash flow and profit prediction. The application of JPAC to jobs will guarantee much higher profits and better cash flow JPAC will also help increase the job estimate accuracy and hit-ratios.
