1. A worker productivity tracking system, comprising:
- a central processing unit capable of receiving manufacturing process information and worker data, processing the worker data received from at least one remote processing unit, and determining productivity of at least one worker by comparing the manufacturing process information and the worker data;
at least one memory card containing the manufacturing process information, wherein the manufacturing process information relates to performance of the at least one manufacturing device; and
the at least one remote processing unit coupled to at least one manufacturing device and in communication with the central processing unit;
wherein the at least one remote processing unit is capable of receiving manufacturing process information from the at least one memory card and transferring the manufacturing process information to the central processing unit; and
wherein the at least one remote processing unit is capable of receiving worker data from the at least one manufacturing device and transferring the worker data to the central processing unit.

Abstract
A worker productivity tracking system for determining the productivity of a worker using a manufacturing device. The worker productivity tracking system may include a central processing unit coupled to one or more remote processing units. A remote processing unit may track the amount of time a worker needs to complete a task. The remote processing unit may send the worker data to the central processing unit. The central processing unit may compare the worker data with manufacturing process information to determine the productivity of the worker. A memory card may be used by the remote processing unit to determine whether a worker is able to operate a manufacturing device.

14. A method of determining the productivity of a worker, comprising:
-
placing a memory card in a position enabling a remote processing unit coupled to a manufacturing device to receive manufacturing process information stored in the memory card;
transferring the manufacturing process information from the memory card to a central processing unit;
processing the manufacturing process information stored on the memory card;
receiving worker data at the remote processing unit from at least one manufacturing device, the worker data relating to the completion of at least one task by a worker using the at least one manufacturing device;
sending the worker data from the at least one remote processing unit to a central processing unit;
comparing the worker data with the manufacturing process information;
generating productivity results from the worker data; and
displaying the productivity results in a real-time format. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)

21. A method of determining the productivity of a worker, comprising:
-
storing manufacturing process information relating to at least one task on a memory card;
placing the memory card in a position enabling a remote processing unit coupled to a manufacturing device to receive manufacturing process information stored in the memory card;
receiving worker data at the remote processing unit from at least one manufacturing device, the worker data relating to the completion of at least one task by a worker using the at least one manufacturing device;
sending the worker data from the at least one remote processing unit to a central processing unit;
determining whether a worker producing the worker data properly completed the at least one task; and
compensating the worker if the worker completed the at least one task. - View Dependent Claims (22)
