LWFMA 03: Engineered Labor Standards and the Labor Model
Within the foundation of realizing a high-performance workforce, we find engineered labor standards. Using engineered labor standards allows labor teams to effectively manage workforce performance while also implementing labor models for improved labor planning, forecasting and budgeting. With engineered labor standards in place, organizations can better focus on driving improved workforce performance in their day-to-day operations. Approx. course completion time: 10-15 minutes.

LWFMA 04: Planning and Forecasting
We look at budgeting, planning and forecasting processes and principles. Based on historical information, forecasting is a prediction process used for planning purposes. Part of that planning comes into play when the actual work must be identified and then refined prior to the scheduling of employees. Approx. course completion time: 10-15 minutes.

LWFMA 06: Schedule Analysis, Effective Scheduling and Employee Self-Service
When analyzing the accuracy of our data, we need to ask ourselves, are we getting a good schedule efficiently? By comparing our findings, we can learn, adjust and continue to improve the process. Employee self-service, which provides functionality for schedule access via any device connected to the internet, will also be introduced. Approx. course completion time: 10-15 minutes.
