Our Approach
Productiv Work Center
One Eye on the Floor and the other on the Future - Our work center solution is a fully intigrated lean work cell. We employ best in class lean techniques to respond to the pull of rapidly changing market conditions. We track, monitor, measure and optimize processes in real-time to quickly identify operational bottlenecks and fine-tune "on the fly" for optimal results.
Eye on the Floor
Productivity happens when workers are aligned to common goals and compensation is directly tied to these goals. Our Work Center solution links all personnel to the happenings on the floor as a lean production cell integrated with client operations.
Eye on the Future
Productiv takes an active role in the planning and scheduling of work center demand. We integrate our scheduling with client scheduling to ensure continuous matching of resource supply and demand. Additionally, Productiv provides weekly metrics and periodic analysis on performance to aid our client with driving cost lower.
Five Reasons to Consider a Productiv Work Center:
- Make More Money. Most companies see a decrease in their operating cost of between 20 and 30% doing business with Productiv. Productiv's unique approach to labor management is to tie every employees' pay to productivity through a system we call a Productiv Work Center. Our technology, Productiv Any-Ware, combines the fix cost elements of a unit rate service contract with a team based gain sharing system. As the productivity of the work center increases, your company will be able to handle higher sales volumes with the people and assets you presently have at lower cost. This effect provides a unique competitive advantage to your company.
- Allow Your Management to Focus on Core Business. A work center is a powerful tool for department heads, effectively eliminating detractions associated with non core functions such as assembly and packaging. Department managers can see a significant reduction in non-core service costs and tremendous improvements in first quality allowing them to concentrate on core functions of their area. While Productiv serves in a discrete and transparent way.
- Build a Stakeholder Culture. A Productiv Work Center transitions workforce culture from by-standers to stakeholders because: (1) employees gain and immediate line of sight about how the work center is performing, and (2) employee pay is directly tied to process productivity.
- Answers the Question, "What's In It for Me?" Gain sharing provides a way to address the human performance issues of participation directly and substantively by answering the question, "What's in it for me?" A work center does this through weekly bonuses for productivity improvement by the workforce. This is a powerful tool that will drive increases in worker efficiency and effectiveness.
- Focus All Employees on Performance. It is an old saying, "What gets measured, gets done." Since all the employees of the work center now have a portion of their pay tied to the same metrics, you get real interest in improvement, more productive discussions and problem solving efforts since all are now clearly working towards the same objective. A work center unites everyone in a common effort; everyone pulling in the same direction to do (on an individual and overall basis) what needs to be done to achieve the common goal(s), and providing feedback along the way.
