LMS is hosted on a secure IMS server and is accessed by the client over a secure internet connection.  Data can be either electronically interfaced or input manually. The Labor Performance LMS system involves the following four key items:

1.  Data Collection.
First, you collect accurate, historical production data and cost metrics.  Ideally this data would include hours worked by each employee, the job performed and product or process details. 

2.  Process Mapping.
Production processes and job descriptions are mapped and put into the software.  Understanding current processes is vital to the design of the unique productivity algorithm that drives productivity. 

3. Labor Algorithm and Rewards Model.
The software contains a unique algorithm engine that drives the Pay for Performance System.  It creates a very accurate and fair performance table for the incentive program.  The end result of the labor algorithm is that for an equal input of labor and skill across any work process, the performance output and bonus is the same.  This allows the employee to make the same bonus for a good effort, regardless of the project they are working on.

4. Daily Impact on Productivity.
Each day, performance data is entered into the system and reports are produced.  Employees can see their productivity and whether or not they earned a bonus.  Employees have immediate and direct impact on their personal earnings.  Productivity goals are met as problems are addressed and solutions are found.
