HR reporting and analytics for Concrete Block Makers: slips, breakage and wet days in one page
Most block plants already hold the numbers that explain their disputes, but on slips and notebooks. A short weekly report turns them into something an owner can act on in ten minutes.

Without reporting, the owner hears about problems as complaints. A builder rings about short counts, a loader says breakage was not his, and a wet week empties the yard without anyone noting what the crew did. The truth sits in truck slips, weighbridge entries and the attendance book, but nobody puts them side by side, so the same argument repeats every month with a different truck.
Good reporting here is modest. One page each week shows trucks loaded, how many slips carry a signed count, breakage noted per load and by whose crew, days lost to rain and what the crew did on them, and how many yard hands joined or left. The owner reads it on Monday and picks one thing to follow up. It is built from records the plant already keeps.
How to set it up
1. Decide five numbers
Choose signed truck counts, breakage per load, wet days, yard hand joiners and leavers, and overtime hours of the top three operators. Resist adding more until these are reliable.
2. Fix where each number comes from
Truck slips give counts, the weighbridge gives loads, the attendance book gives days and joiners. Name one person who copies each into a sheet every Friday.
3. Build one page
Put the five numbers in one table with last week and the week before alongside. A plain spreadsheet works. Software can come later, see HR reports automation.
4. Read it with the supervisor
Spend ten minutes on Monday going through the page and pick one item to act on. Write the action and the name next to it.
5. Review the numbers quarterly
Ask whether each number still helps a decision. Drop what nobody uses and add one question you keep asking by hand.
Check these first
Before changing anything, find out what is true today. These take an afternoon and use your own records.
- Count how many of last week's truck slips have a signed count and a named loader.
- Add up breakage noted on the last ten loads and see if it clusters on one crew or truck type.
- List the wet days last month and what the crew was paid for on each.
- Count yard hands who joined in the last three months and how many remain.

Questions owners ask
A weekly page with signed counts, breakage per load and yard hand joiners and leavers. It uses records you already keep and speaks directly to counting disputes and casual turnover.
No. A shared spreadsheet filled each Friday is enough to start. Software helps once you have several yards or many casual workers, but a reliable habit comes first.
Agree one source for each number and one person who records it. When the slip is the source and the signer is named, the argument moves from who is right to what changed on that load.
