Abstract
The aim of this research is to find factors which impact employees’ working production and efficiency at Sony Digital Products (Wuxi) Co. Ltd (SDPW), and provide recommendations to improve worker production efficiency. In the last thirteen months, the researchers conducted extensive research into project management knowledge. Considering the various factors that affect work efficiency, the two research questions that are answered in this study: What are the factors that impact employee’s working efficiency at SDPW? Among these factors, which are the three major factors that have maximum influence?
Thirty four managers and engineers from SDPW completed a survey that measured whether the implementation of a new time management strategy at SDPW is necessary to improve work production and efficiency. The research team analyzed the results of this work efficiency inspection survey conducted at SDPW to rank the major factors which seriously impacted employees’ productivity and efficiency. For analyzing the degree of influence of each factor, the researchers used three useful index formulas called importance index, frequent index, and severity index respectively. The results of the survey showed that early morning meetings, lack of personal planning and scheduling, and using the computer to do personal things were the three major factors at SDPW where works waste their time.
From this research, findings indicate that time management is a precisely dynamic process that is both unique and complex, depending on a number of factors such as the personal and company factors. Therefore, some new time management strategies are required to be conducted at SDPW for improving work efficiency.
