Algorithm for computing workloads
Keywords:
algorithm, labor productivity, workloadsAbstract
This paper presents the development an algorithm for computing workloads, supported in the analysis of similar studies and theory study methods and times. The algorithm is proposed as a support for the analysis of the level work assigned to a particular position or a group of workers in a given area, whether in the manufacturing industry or services, which allow to level the workload assigned by defining alternatives that promote increased productivity, promoting improvements in the working environment and working conditions.
