Labour rate & efficiency variance check

Shift-level review of labour rate and efficiency variances against time sheets, overtime coding, and work-centre standards.

Format

Desk review with supervisor interviews

Duration

1–2 weeks

Location

Hong Kong

Fee basis

Fixed fee by work-centre count

Who this is for

Plants where overtime, temporary labour, or learning curves on new lines make labour variances hard to explain in a board sentence.

What we do

We reconcile payroll and contractor invoices to costed labour, then test efficiency standards against actual cycle times and downtime notes. Supervisors help us separate genuine inefficiency from misclassified waiting time.

Included

  • Rate and efficiency variance bridge for agreed work centres
  • Overtime and temp-labour coding review
  • Brief memo suitable for operations and HR as well as finance

Excluded

Payroll compliance audits and employment-law advice.

Next step
