LMS Value Calculator

Model Your
Labor Productivity Value

Productivity is built in stages. Tell us where your operation sits today and where you want it to be, add your volume and labor base, and see what the move is worth in units per hour, headcount, and direct labor cost.

The MERLIN Performance Curve

Five steps, each one building on the last. Skipping a step limits what the next can return. Select where you are today and where you want to be.

PRODUCTIVITY FIVE STEPS Stage I, Baseline Baseline 0% to 10% Stage II, Methods Methods 5% to 15% Stage III, Engineering Engineering 10% to 25% Stage IV, LMS Software LMS Software 15% to 30% Stage V, Coaching and Incentives $ Coaching 25% to 60%+

Projected Annual Value

Enter Your Numbers

Pick your stages on the curve above, complete your operation data, then calculate.

What this is. A projection built from your volume, your labor base, and your position on the MERLIN Performance Curve. Volume is held constant, so the result is the labor required to ship the same units after a productivity gain.

What this is not. A site assessment. Position on the curve and achievable gain are confirmed on the floor through labor standards review, time study, and direct observation. Actual results depend on current standards maturity, data quality, supervision coverage, and program scope.
