Because of the heterogeneous causes for productivity losses, the analysis requires a comprehensive data acquisition and evaluation. With this paper we introduce a state-oriented approach providing the possibility to identify and prioritize the different impacts on labor productivity for subsequent process enhancements. With a case study, we show how to visualize and evaluate state data of an assembly cell to establish a goal-oriented improvement process.en2212-8271201215560Elsevierhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/productivity analysislabor productivitystate-oriented modelingcontinuous improvement processWirtschaftJournal Articleurn:nbn:de:gbv:830-882.02587710.15480/882.198311420/198610.1016/j.procir.2012.07.01110.15480/882.1983Journal Article
