You use this program to produce a report listing month-to-date values processed for a range of selected work centers from entries made in the Labor Posting program and the available capacity held in the capacity calendar file.
The report is aimed at assisting you in measuring the efficiency of your work centers.
Work centers are maintained using the program.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Unit of measure | |
| Time | Select this to use the time defined against each work center to calculate the efficiency. |
| Capacity | Select this to use the capacity defined against each work center to calculate the efficiency. |
These options enable you to apply a theme to the report and to define multiple output destinations for the report once it has been compiled (SRS Output Options).
For each work center included in the report, values are printed for the following:
-
Ptd - Period-to-date
The period date is affected by running the Labor period end function of the WIP Period End program.
The Work Center Efficiency program builds available capacity based on the date on which the Labor period end function of the WIP Period End program was run plus one day. Therefore, if you run the WIP Period End and Work Center Efficiency programs on the same day, no capacity will be available as the period-to-date day is today. If the Labor period end function of the WIP Period End program is run today and the Work Center Efficiency program is run tomorrow, then one day's available capacity is shown on the report.
-
MTD - Month-to-date
The month to date is affected by running the Month end function of the WIP Period End program in the same way as running the Labor period end function except that the date of the last month end is used to calculate capacity.
-
YTD - Year-to-date
The month to date is affected by running the Year end function of the WIP Period End program in the same way as running the Labor period end function, except that the date of the last year end is used to calculate capacity.
-
Standard time earned
This is the amount of time that a process should take based on the actual amount produced. Therefore, if you are producing 10 at 2 hours per unit and you had up until this point produced 4, then the hours earned would be 8 [4 x 2].
-
Non-prod time - Non- Productive time
This is the amount of time used for non productive reasons. This would have been defined with a non productive code.
-
Capacity available
This is the capacity that was available from the last period end date, month end date or year end date until the current date.
For example: You have a work center with a daily capacity of 8 hours and your month end was run on the last day of the previous month and today is the second day of the new month, then the available capacity would be 16 hours.
-
Lost time
This is the difference between the capacity that was available and what has been consumed.
Lost time = Capacity available less Standard hours earned less Non-productive hours
For example: You have a work center with a daily capacity of 8 hours and your month end was run on the last day of the previous month and today is the second day of the new month. If you have processed 12 hours of labor up until this point, then the Lost time will be 4 hours [16 hours available less the 12 hours processed].

Lost time includes non productive time.
-
Act prod time - Actual production time
This indicates the productive time captured excluding any non productive time.
Actual productive time = Total hours posted where the non-productive code was blank or not entered.
-
% Prod utils - % Productive utilization
% Productive utilization = Standard time earned / Capacity available x 100
For example: You have a work center with a daily capacity of 8 hours and your month end was run on the last day of the previous month and today is the second day of the new month. You are producing 10 units at 2 hours per unit and you have up until this point produced 4 units. The hours earned are 8 [4 x 2]. The percentage productive utilization is (8/16 * 100) = 50%
-
% Tot utils - % Total utilization
% Total utilization = ((standard time earned + non-productive time) / capacity available) x 100
For example: You have a work center with a daily capacity of 8 hours and your month end was run on the last day of the previous month and today is the second day of the new month. You are producing 10 units at 2 hours per unit and you have up until this point produced 4 units. The hours earned are 8 [4 x 2]. The percentage total utilization would be ((8 + 0) / 16) x 100) = 50%
-
% Efficiency
% Efficiency = (Standard time earned / Actual productive time) x 100
