Report Details

Only month-to-date figures are printed on this report since there is no capacity file for a machine. Instead the standard time per month (indicated in the place of the capacity available column) is a fixed value extracted from the machine record.

The entry made at the Quantity completed field of the Labor Posting program is used to calculate the standard hours earned. It is added to the work center efficiency record for the period, month and year-to-date columns. It is also added to the machine and employee month-to-date columns.

Calculations

The following indicate the calculations included for columns in this report:

  • Lost time = Capacity available - Standard hours earned - Non-productive hours

  • Actual Productive Time = Total hours posted where the Non-productive code was blank or not entered

  • % Productive utilization = (Standard hours earned / Capacity available) x 100

  • % Total Utilization = ((Standard hours earned + Non-productive hours) / Capacity available) x 100

  • % Efficiency = (Standard hours earned / Actual productive hours) x 100

  • Standard time earned = (quantity completed for the operation / quantity to make) x total time required for the operation

  • Actual time earned = Time posted

  • Non-productive earned = Time posted if non-productive code entered

  • Standard time = Entered time expected per month
