Objectif Shoemaking in the EU is still a labour intensive industry, relying on the individual skills of production personnel. Individual operators can develop high levels of skill for specialised operations but often their productivity is not reflected in the efficiency of the overall operation, because of dissimilar levels of skill from other operators. It is an immensely difficult task to balance the production to maximise these individual skills. Typically an SME can lose between-15% of its output from this kind of inefficiency, and with the high cost of labour in most EU countries, inefficiency of this magnitude seriously erodes the ability of manufactures to compete with cheaper, imported products. This project will develop a work recording system to monitor individual operator's productivity and relate these to a group or team activity. The system will display information to allow the user to modify working methods, rebalance workflow and identify training opportunities.
