How To Pay For a VMS CCTV System in Six Minutes
Have you ever considered the impact of productivity
losses in business?
Unproductive Activity |
Description of the Behavior |
Wasted Time in Minutes per
Day |
Cell phone usage |
Cell phone usage during work hours has reached the
top of the list of problem areas as identified in a recent poll
of VMS clients. When asked for how many calls came in during a
shift the answers varied – but some owners counted as many
as TWENTY calls in a single eight-hour shift! |
20 mins. |
Cigarette Breaks |
The average smoker will have 5 cigarettes during
any 8-hour work day. How long does it take to smoke each cigarette? Five,
ten, even 15 mins? |
25 mins. |
Long Lunches |
Lunch allowances vary by state, but typically are
30-45 minutes. Many clients indicated that this time is often “stretched” by
several minutes. |
15 mins. |
Coffee/Soda Breaks |
Some employers offer 15 minute breaks during shifts.
Others have them too, just without knowing. |
15 mins. |
Sitting and Leaning vs. Standing
and Cleaning |
This may be the oldest one in the book, but the
impact was often overlooked until people were reviewing their video
specifically to find it. |
15 mins. |
“Brooming” at
opening and closing times |
A new one for our Loss Prevention vocabulary, “Brooming” is
the act of sweeping customers out the door when the employees are
ready to close the store. Its counterpart shares a name with school
on a snowy morning, the “delayed opening”.
Is your store being opened and closed when it’s supposed
to, or when the staff thinks it should be? |
30 mins. |
TOTAL
UNPRODUCTIVE TIME IN A SINGLE EIGHT HOUR SHIFT → |
2 hours |
Two hours during an eight hour shift represents an amazing 25%! To put
a dollar amount to this, consider a store with 4 employees per shift,
each earning $10 per hour on average.
If the store is open from 9am – 9pm
seven days and has an average hourly payroll of $40, then labor alone (before
taxes, insurance, rent and all other costs) is a whopping $3,360
per week.
A twenty-five percent productivity drop, as illustrated above,
costs the business owner $840 each week in unnecessary staffing - more
than $3,600 per month and over $43,000 per year!
If a system were leased
for $179 per month, a five percent recovery – or only SIX MINUTES
PER SHIFT would pay for the system in FULL! |
SIX MINUTES PER SHIFT = A FREE SYSTEM!
