quickly entered in the computer Bar codes printed by check boxes on a form allow fast accurate data entry by simply scanning
the codes by the check boxes This makes an easy task of gathering large amounts of information for a client Reduced data
collection costs and better service are the results
Productivity Measurement Systems
Productivity measurement is a practice that can drastically reduce labor costs in manufacturing, warehousing, and most other
types of business A well-managed system will allow supervisors to isolate the problems that may come up so that they can
take steps to solve them
Within an organization, departments may have different types of activities, making it difcult for supervisors to keep track of
what everyone is doing Productivity-measurement systems automatically track what work is being done and compare the
work to expected output When the results do not measure up, supervisors can take corrective action
This type of informed supervision and management can typically cut department costs by 15 to 20 percent
