Defining labor metric elements

The application consists of these labor metric tables:

• Department
• Job
• Project
• Docket

Department and Job groups are typically defined to match the respective Department and Job elements in the company.

While employees are usually linked to one specific job for a long period of time, intermittent job changes may occur based on the company’s production needs. Additionally, employee workdays may be allocated across multiple projects. In such cases, both Project and Job groups would need to be created as labor metric elements.

The Docket group measures employee production quantity. These measurements can include standard quantity, standard time, machine parts, and part numbers. Dockets are often tracked within incentive pay or production monitoring systems.
