Rene' has a really good paper that discusses this topic. http://www.histosearch.com/ADP9ProductivityStandards.pdf
The larger issues are how to track the number cut per hour. It's easy to get a daily rate, but breaking it down to blocks/hour when techs are doing multiple tasks makes it a bit more challenging. Are people willing to share how they track the number of blocks cut per hour per tech?
