Abstract
According to the data of manufacturing industry, phase-space of time series was reconstructed based on the phase-space
reconstruction theory. The fractal features of labor productivity of manufacturing industry time series were studied by using G-P
(Grassberger-Procaccia) arithmeticcorrelation dimension of labor productivity of manufacturing industry time series and delay
time were calculated out. The results indicate that the dynamic system of labor productivity of manufacturing industry has a steady
correlation dimension of 0.948 after the embedded dimension comes to 6, which explains that at least one factor is controlling the
dynamic changes of accidents time series, and the effective freedom is 6. The research provides much reference value for
establishing comparative evaluation models and management system of labor productivity of manufacturing industry time series.
