These are typically used for operational departments where productivity is the main target. When the cost driver (e.g., room nights, revenue) changes, PMI automatically recalculates the required hours to maintain the fixed productivity target. This keeps your labor plan aligned with real activity levels.
What to do:
- Go to PMI cockpit → Select your department
- Click the gear icon to access settings
- Under the Forecast settings, ensure the “Productivity is locked” option is enabled
- Save changes to apply productivity-based forecasting
For example, if more rooms need cleaning next month, the Housekeeping department will automatically receive more hours to meet the productivity target (e.g., 0.25 HRS/RN).
