TRACKING INDUSTRIAL VEHICLE OPERATOR QUALITY
First Claim
1. A method of aggregating measures of industrial vehicle operator performance, comprising:
- coupling an analysis engine executing on a server computer to at least two independent and distinct electronic data sources including a first data source that collects information about industrial vehicles, and a second data source that collects information about a workforce, wherein the first data source receives electronic vehicle information including industrial vehicle usage data collected from industrial vehicles during operation thereof, which is wirelessly transmitted from the industrial vehicles;
storing a performance profile having a plurality of performance measures, each performance measure characterizing a measure of performance of an industrial vehicle operator;
assigning a specific industrial vehicle operator identification to a copy of the performance profile to define an operator-specific performance profile instance; and
evaluating a current state of the operator-specific performance profile instance by;
processing each performance measure based upon the assigned industrial vehicle operator identification, using information from the first data source and the second data source, such that both the first data source and the second data source are queried to obtain information necessary to evaluate at least one performance measure of the performance profile instance;
computing at least one score for the operator identification based upon the evaluation of the performance profile instance; and
outputting a representation of the current state of the operator-specific performance profile instance.

Abstract
The overall quality of a workforce is analyzed, scored and presented using an analysis engine that performs a multi-domain analysis on enterprise data. The analysis engine presents key information about the performance of a workforce across a range of hardware devices so as to inform different users in their unique contexts and roles within a business organization as to workforce performance. The analysis engine associates a customizable performance profile with each workforce member. Each performance profile is comprised of a plurality of performance measures. Each performance measure in turn, represents a performance metric that measures some aspect of the job duties performed by the associated workforce member, e.g., an industrial vehicle operator. The scores are aggregated into an overall performance profile score. To compute the scores, data is considered across multiple domains, e.g., by collecting and analyzing data from industrial vehicle data systems, warehouse management systems, labor management systems, etc.
