What is the importance of benefits as a part of employee compensation?

On Jul 25, 2024


Benefits contribute to attracting, retaining, and motivating employees. The variety of possible benefits also helps employers tailor their compensation to the kinds of employees they need. Different employees look for different types of benefits. Employers need to examine their benefits package regularly to see whether they meet the needs of today. At the same time, benefits packages are more complex than pay structures, so benefits are harder for employees to understand and appreciate. Even if employers spend large sums on benefits, if employees do not understand how to use them or why they are valuable, the cost of the benefits will be largely wasted. Employers need to communicate effectively so that the benefits succeed in motivating employees.

You have read that in JIT and lean production the optimum lot size is one, with some exceptions for packaging and physical limitations. If a product currently has a lot size of 25, what must happen to setup time for the lot size to truly fall to one? Data for this problem are D= 100 units, S = $75 based on setup time of 50 minutes at $1.50 per minute, and H = $40 per unit per year.

Students may try ever smaller values for S, and find S = $0.12 by trial and error. Or they may solve the economic production quantity model for S, which also yields $0.12. Or they may recognize that the reduction in Q by a factor of 25 requires a reduction in S by that factor squared; in this case $75 / (25x25) = 0.12.
