THEORY OF CONSUMPTION AND LABOR PERFORMANCE

1.1 LABOR PRODUCTIVITY.

Work performance is defined as the amount of work done in a certain activity.


completely executed by a crew, made up of one or several workers of
different specialty per unit of human resource, usually expressed as
um/ hH (unit of measure of activity per man hour).

1.2 LABOR CONSUMPTION.

It is defined as the amount of human resources in man-hours that is used by


a crew made up of one or more workers of different specialties, to
fully execute the unit quantity of some activity. The labor consumption
work is normally expressed in hH / um (man-hours per unit of measure)
and corresponds to the mathematical inverse of labor output.
1.3 Productivity in the workforce
It is a quality management methodology focused on process control with the aim of reducing the number of defects.

The tranquility that social security guarantees.

2.2 THE GENERAL ECONOMY

The volume of work influence of the project.


The job opportunities.

General business trends. When these indicators are good or excellent, the
productivity is negatively affected, as it becomes more difficult to find labor of
good quality; whereas on the contrary, if the economy maintains its normal trend, it
you will find greater availability of labor and of better quality.

2.6 THE EQUIPMENT

It refers to the necessary tools and equipment, such as:

Maintenance.
Properly allocate the equipment and tools in a timely manner.
Protection elements for carrying out activities.
The efficiency in labor productivity can vary over a wide range from 0%, when it does not
perform any activity, up to 100% if the maximum theoretical efficiency possible is achieved.
Framed between the two previous limits are the actual labor performances and consumptions.

3. CALCULATION OF YIELDS ON SITE

It is necessary to first determine what type of methodology will be suitable for the calculation of the
labor yields, considering the type of work for which data will be taken on site and the condition
actual.

Finally, with all these parameters, the yields will be defined for each of the categories.
