Direct Labor Productivity

Direct Labor Productivity measures how efficiently workers produce goods or services. It is calculated by dividing the total output (like products made) by the direct labor hours used to create that output. A higher productivity rate indicates that workers are producing more in less time, which can lead to increased profits and lower costs for a company. It’s a vital indicator of a business's operational efficiency, helping managers assess performance and make improvements where necessary. Essentially, it quantifies the relationship between the workforce effort and the results achieved.
