Production Rate Tracker

How to Use

Keep a consistent activity log

Activity / Log Name: Identifies one kind of work.

Quantity Unit: Select square feet, linear feet, cubic yards, each, or a clearly named custom unit.

Job / Location: Identifies where this work took place.

Work Notes: Describe the work and conditions.

Each new log has its own identity; similar names are not merged. Use a new log for a different work type, quantity unit or time definition.

My Production: Records your own working hours.

Crew Production: Records the total labor consumed.

Working-Time Basis: States whether your hours include ordinary setup and movement. Apply that definition consistently, excluding breaks yourself if appropriate; this tool does not silently deduct any time or allowance.

Record completed work

Work Date: The local calendar date the work occurred, independent of the time you enter it.

Completed Quantity: The work finished in this log's unit.

Working-Time Information: Time is optional: choose Quantity only if you do not have reliable hours. Such entries contribute to quantity per recorded day, but not hourly productivity.

My Working Hours: For personal work, enter your hours on this activity.

Crew Size: For a crew with equal hours, enter the number of workers contributing to this activity.

Hours per Worker: Enter the hours each worker spent on the activity when everyone worked the same duration. Crew size multiplied by hours per worker gives total labor-hours.

Direct Total Labor-Hours: For different durations, add each person's hours yourself and select this method.

These time methods are alternatives, not amounts to count together. A zero-output day with positive labor time is valid and lowers the measured normalized rate. Zero hours cannot support an hourly rate.

Known Rate: Choose Log a known rate instead to enter an already measured rate.

Rate Denominator: Specify whether the rate is per labor-hour, elapsed hour or day.

Entry Notes: Notes can explain access, material handling, delays or differing work scope.

Known-rate observations never invent quantity or time and stay separate from quantity-and-hours totals. Different denominators have separate charts and unweighted averages.

Read totals and comparisons fairly

Total Recorded Quantity: Includes quantity entries in the selected date range.

Average Quantity per Recorded Day: Divides the recorded quantity by the number of distinct recorded dates, not rows or all calendar days between them.

Entries on the same date are added first. Missing dates are not zero-output days.

Weighted Quantity per Labor-Hour: Divides quantity from entries with valid time by their corresponding labor-hours. It is not an arithmetic average of daily rates.

Labor-Hours per Unit: Uses the same timed subset and is unavailable when that subset has no output.

For 400 SF in 8 labor-hours and 600 SF in 16 labor-hours, the combined rate is 1,000 ÷ 24 = 41.667 SF/labor-hour, and output averages 500 SF per recorded day. The second day has 50% more output but 25% lower normalized productivity.

Latest Recorded Day: Compared with the earlier comparable dates within your filter, excluding the latest date.

Quantity and labor-normalized comparisons are different measurements. No usable earlier baseline means there is not enough comparable history. Known-rate comparisons use prior entries of the same denominator only. The chart and table show the selected metric and date range; editing or deleting an entry updates both.

Save, recover and export

Local recovery is specific to this device and browser and can be cleared. Storage failures are shown. An already-loaded tool continues during connection loss; first-time offline loading is not supported. Copy and CSV exports do not require an account. Exports identify the tool, units and time basis; CSV text is protected against spreadsheet formulas.

Log in to save records to your existing BidSimp dashboard and open them on another device. Importing local work requires your confirmation. Once saved to an account, completed entries and edits save to that same record. “Saved to account” means the server acknowledged it. Failed or waiting changes remain in local recovery when storage is available. A newer account version must be reopened before further edits; export your local recovery first if you need to preserve a conflicting change.

An active timer stays controlled by its original browser. Another browser can read it but cannot start or change it; end the session in the original browser first. One tab at a time edits a record. Login and logout never transfer another account's queued work. Saved records are private to their owner; these tools do not create employee accounts or share crew data.

Use the record as field evidence

Production reflects the conditions you observed. Short samples, difficult access, material handling, breaks, crew composition and differing scope can change a rate. Keep explanatory notes and compare like work. No observations are removed automatically, and a measured rate does not guarantee performance on the next bid. Work safely; this is not a speed competition.
