Questions fréquemment posées
What is labor efficiency?
Labor efficiency compares actual hours worked to standard (expected) hours. Above 100% means performing better than standard.
What causes low labor efficiency?
Machine downtime, poor scheduling, material shortages, inadequate training, or inaccurate time standards can all reduce labor efficiency.
How are standard hours determined?
Standard hours are calculated through time studies, predetermined motion time systems, or historical average performance data.
