Labor Efficiency (Standard Time Per Unit)

Last updated: June 19, 2026

Labor Efficiency (Standard Time) Metric calculates Earned Time using Labor Time. 

The Calculation:

Earned Minutes / Labor Minutes

Earned Minutes = Standard Time Per Unit * Actual Parts

Labor Minutes = Actual Labor Time – (Operator Count × Planned Non-Production Time)

Actual Labor Time = sum of all time of users checked into the line

 

Setup:

You can enable the Labor Efficiency Standard Time Per Unit Metric on the Production Settings page. This enables the metric on the Operator Portal, Pitch Boards, and Reports. 

Now you'll add Standard Time per Unit for each Product on the Line Cycle Time page. This is the 'earned' time - or the time it should take to produce a single part. This is similar to cycle time, but instead of measuring the time it takes a machine to produce a part. Standard Time is the amount of time an operator needs to produce a part.
