Quick Start

analyzer = LaborProductivityAnalyzer("Office Tower")

# Set targets
analyzer.set_target("CONC-001", 2.5)  # m3 per hour

# Add entry
entry = analyzer.add_entry(
    entry_date=date.today(),
    trade="Concrete",
    activity_code="CONC-001",
    activity_description="Pour concrete slab",
    location="Level 3",
    crew_size=8,
    hours_worked=80,
    quantity_installed=180,
    unit="m3"
)

print(f"Productivity factor: {entry.productivity_factor:.2f}")
print(f"Status: {entry.status.value}")
