Labor Standards Development

Determining distribution center labor standards is a critical part of facility master planning.  Establishing current labor productivity rates with time studies and/or reasonable expectancy (RE) rate modeling is the starting point for justifying changes to a process.  St. Onge has developed a comprehensive RE modelling approach and model that is used to accurately calculate current and new process labor rates.

If deploying or utilizing an LMS, then engineered labor standards are a typical requirement.  St. Onge develops engineered labor standards using on-site observations and time studies to capture machine times, validate travel distances, document operational processes, system functionality, personal, fatigue, and delay factors.

Healthcare Equipment Planning Starts with Questions, Not Products

Equipment decisions shape room layouts, building systems, clinical workflows, and long-term capital investment. Made too late, they lead to costly redesigns and delays.

Our practical guide covers the critical questions to ask at every phase, from governance and design through procurement and activation.
