This document discusses productivity metrics for different crews installing carpeting over multiple weeks. It provides the crew size, yards installed, labor hours, and materials used to calculate multi-factor productivity and compare productivity across crews and over time. The calculations show that productivity was highest initially and declined steadily, and that productivity increased for one worker who produced more units while working fewer hours.
