Optimize labor performance
with modapts®
By Ed Eisbrenner
W
ith a shrinking qualified labor force and high turnover rates,
manufacturing and assembly operations face significant
challenges to improve employee performance and maximize
their return on workforce investment. Optimizing labor performance
is often the single biggest opportunity for productivity improvement
and cost reduction in any manufacturing environment.
Investing in work measurement training allows operations to do
more with less, by delivering significant performance gains and
unlocking new levels of productivity that eclipse the capabilities of
alternative solutions, e.g., the use of a stop watch to set a production
standard.
Properly implemented, the MODAPTS® work measurement system
optimizes operations with:
•Increased employee engagement
•Reduced management overhead
•Reliable labor tracking
•More effective training and coaching
MODAPTS® is the best predetermined time standards system you can
use to control those costs and transform the way you direct, monitor
and measure your workforces productivity.
This tool
can help you coach and motivate workers to
achieve a “high performance” culture.
MODAPTS® is Respect for People, and
Respect for People is required for the longterm success and viability of any legitimate
organization.

Connecting the Dots between
Education, Innovation and
Productivity on the
Production Floor
By Ed Eisbrenner
O
ften times it takes more than original thinking to be innovative. The skill sets and knowledge gained from professional education programs and classes are also important
pieces of the puzzle. But how do these programs help manufacturing entries become more productive world class companies
and innovators?
Just ask Ed Eisbrenner. Just three years ago Eisbrenner launched
the first ever on line training program for the Basic MODAPTS®
work measurement system. Since then as a board certified
MODAPTS® instructor he has won acclaim, the CEO and founder of Eisbrenner Productivity Group, a leading instructor in work
measurement intelligence and productivity provider to Fortune
500 companies and non- profit businesses across North America.
He has lectured to engineering classes at college campuses and
most recently the key note speaker at the 22nd Annual Congreso
Industrial Conference in Monterrey, Mexico.
“It’s about believing in what you
are doing to promote the dignity
of the worker as well as having
a passion for results. It’s up to
each of us to use our abilities to
the fullest do more to craft a world
that we would be proud to leave to
the next generation.”
Eisbrenner’ s network
connects companies to
other board certified
MODAPTS
instructors
and established world
class engineering service and training con-
tractors enabling them to harness
productivity intelligence for resiliency and agility in the world’s fast
paced manufacturing arena.
While his on line Basic MODAPTS®
Practitioner Certification Training
course is part of the broad tapes-

try of plant floor line balance experience, the knowledge of applying ergonomics guidelines in setting a work standard, and industrial engineering skills that has enabled Eisbrenner to become
a thought leader in the work measurement industry, there are
specific elements of his 3 day on site Basic MODAPTS® course
that have been especially beneficial to manufacturing companies.
Ed Eisbrenner is the 2015 recipient of the International MODAPTS® Association Heyde Award “in honor and recognition of contributions, promotion and
proliferation of the MODAPTS® language for understanding work.”
