Stage 3Â of 5
Â
Goal:Â Get accurate insight into how your team is spending their time to better understand labor costs (workload) & assess which assets are most time consuming.
Incentive:Â Hours logged is an important metric to make business decisions such as replacing consistently failing assets or justifying additional headcount. It also helps highlight good habits by technicians and identify where others might need some help.
Â
Labor hoursÂ
-
Logged on all work orders.

Best practice is to use the Fiix mobile app.
Â
Track external labor
-
Create 'inactive' users to represent external contractors and service providers, and appoint someone on your team to track their labor hours on work orders as well.
