Productivity
Sales/Employee
Sales/Employee is scaled based upon historical results in past semesters with the simulation.
If you reach or exceed these targets, you earn 50 points:
| Threshold Sales/Employee | Target Sales/Employee | |
|---|---|---|
| Year 1 | $80,000 | $160,000 |
| Year 2 | $90,000 | $180,000 |
| Year 3 | $100,000 | $200,000 |
| Year 4 | $112,500 | $225,000 |
| Year 5 | $125,000 | $250,000 |
| Year 6 | $140,000 | $280,000 |
| Year 7 | $157,500 | $315,000 |
| Year 8 | $177,500 | $355,000 |
You earn points for anything above the threshold. For example, in Year 1, if your sales are $80,000 or below, you earn nothing for Sales/Employee. At $120,000/Employee, you earn 25 points, and at $160,000/Employee you earn 50 points.
You can improve Sales/Employee several ways:
- Excellent forecasting. Complements are tied to the production schedule. If you use employees to put inventory into the warehouse instead of a customer's hands, you add nothing to Sales yet have an increased complement.
- Higher Automation. Increasing automation levels reduces complement.
- If the HR module is switched on, you have opportunities to improve productivity. Over six years, you could increase productivity by over 20%, and therefore reduce complement.
