Looking for an effective way to measure Indirect Time-Engineers
Direct Labor is the type of labor that is directly related to the manufacturing of products or goods in a factory. The workers are “directly” working on products either with machines or by hand. Indirect Labor is the type of labor in a company that is not directly working with the production of the goods or services. The product can still be made without the indirect labor but the company will not continue to function properly without it over an extended period of time. Examples of indirect labor include managers in an office, supervisors in a factory who supervise the workers, presidents, vice-presidents and senior management in corporations and cleaning staff as well as maintenance staff Right now we do time studies and type everything into excel to analyze the data. Has anyone come across some kind of software or technology that makes this easier, quicker, and more accurate?

Time study and spreadsheet is basoc and effective. You could use a GoPro and time lapse to break down soecific steps in the direct portion even though thats not what your looking for.

We work in a union environment and as of last year, no camera's are allowed to be used for time studies because the union was complaining about it. They seem to think that we are recording everything so that we can easily replace them with younger lower paid workers.

Wouldn't it be pretty easy to just run some kind of report in one of your systems for a certain group of employees, in this case the indirect hours and their costs? What kind of business?
