Work Load

I have myself and one employee. We do not measure our productivity with the number of framing jobs we produce in a day. We measure the total dollar amount produced in a day. Last year the two of us averaged $1250.00 per day, on a five day a week basis. we are actually open seven days a week.

Jack, I'd appreciate your numbers on this subject. I used to average 8 frames a day. It was a long day. Since my wife started working with me, I've got myself up to somewhere between 3 and 4 frames a day, but the average ticket has increased dramatically. I go home at 6.
 
For what it's worth, Jack, (although I am not an owner

)I am one of six employees at the shop I work at--but I am one of only three full-timers. We have no "production vs. counter" employees, meaning that all of us help customers as well as frame...on a good day we average 20-30 orders completed. Good days are not particularly frequent, however...there are no more than three framers on any given shift. (Two of which, on busy days, are helping customers place orders all day.)

I don't care what color your sofa is.
 
I work by myself and begin around 6:30 am (most days) and go home at 5:00pm, monday to friday. Over the year my average turnover per week is A$2600 (thats Aussie dollars).
I deal with the customers, do the framing and the bookwork too.
 
I have two full-timers in one shop, myself and two part-timers in the other, and two part-timers at my warehouse. The warehouse workers cut and join only, and I figure they should do eight frames per hour, each. The people who complete the jobs in the store, should be able to complete eight jobs per day, without interruptions, of course. We work normal hours, 9:30 to 5:30. Part-timers three day weeks, full timers, myself included, five.
 
We have 2 people, myself and the owner (my sister), here fulltime (for us that is 7 days a week). We are adding a new partime employee three days a week and hope to add another full-time employee asap. We also have another part-time fitter who works May 1 through Christmas (she's works full time for an accounting firm). We take in around 10 to 15 items per day and that is growing. That is why we are currently hiring. I also find that more and more of our work is getting more labor intensive. V-grooves, french lines, triple mats, multi openings, stacked frames etc.
 
Employees: 1 1/2

I work 6-7 days a week
Part-timer works 20-30 hrs a week

Production (last 30 days): $1250/day
 
Perhaps another way to put a spin on this would be to determine what percentage of sales your labor costs are.It is a very accurate way to determine if your costs are in line.
In our business our labor costs are 20% of our gross sales.
It would be interesting to know how others compare.
Keep framing.
