Here are a few keys to effective productivity management.Eliminate unnecessary calls on labor that consume time but do not increase output.Optimize the effectiveness of people’s time through the application of good technology.Schedule as much of the department’s work as possible. Then match the availability of resources–including human resources–to that scheduled work through employee work schedule design and routine assignments.Some department work is time-critical (that is, somethings must be done at a certain time). Develop a work force of full-time and part-time staff to match those patterns to facilitate optimum staffing.Measure and manage the relationship between total paid hours and productive (worked) hours. Periodically check department productivity goals against external benchmarks to assure reasonableness and continued competitiveness.Connect department labor scheduling methods and practices to labor budget goals.

Then they’ll watch their national team flounder and embarrass themselves, as always.Fun times.Anyways, here’s the roundup, for my loyal following…MANCHESTER UNITED 7, AS ROMA 1So is this the year the Red Devils get back to their 1999 Champions League glory (right)?Yeah, you saw that right, SEVEN goals. I knew it, you knew it, Rafael Benitez (right) certainly knew it.After a 3-0 thrashing of PSV in Hollard, the Liverpool manager didn’t start English nationals Steven Gerrard or Jamie Carragher in yesterday’s second leg.The 2005 Champions League champs didn’t look their best, but who can blame them? They trounced their opponent 4-0 in aggregate and advanced easily.PSV was lucky to make it this far, they had probably cashed it in, using injuries as an easy excuse.The question is: how far can Gerrard take Liverpool…?CHELSEA 2, VALENCIA 1Unfortunately ESPN’s coverage (right) showed both Man U games so no one got to see either leg of this great pairing.I went for the upset, not wanting to flood the Champions League semis with EPL teams.

For fifteen years, Rivera says his scavenging has kept him out of trouble and more seamy lines of work.âItâs better than hurting someone, or getting hurt or going to jail for trying to make a living,â he says.Like most of the collectors in the area, Rivera uses the topography to his advantage, starting near Prospect Park and working west. The hill slopes away from the park, helping roll the carts and ease the weight of bags off the shoulders of collectors, to the plateau where the redemption center in the parking lot of the Pathmark lies under the Gowanus Expressway…According to the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, 87 billion beverage containers have been returned since the Container Act went into effect.
