Track Planned Downtime using Dispatches - This allows the customer to easily log planned downtime events, such as company meetings or trainings, since they do not count against the LMPU metric. Planned downtime minutes would then be subtracted from the LMPU and Labor Efficiency formulas, since planned downtime minutes should not be counted as production minutes.
Labor Efficiency (Standard Time) Metric calculates Earned Time using Labor Time. *You must be using the Planned Downtime Dispatch Type Setting.
The Calculation:
Earned Minutes / Labor Minutes
Labor Minutes = Actual Labor Time - (Operator Count * Planned Downtime)
Actual Labor Time = sum of all time of users checked into the line
Planned Downtime = non-overlap sum of Dispatch time for Planned Downtime Dispatch Types
Setup:
First, you'll want to go to the Dispatch Type Setup page and enable Planned Downtime - The Planned Downtime setting will exclude those Dispatch Types from the LMPU metric. *This number can be found in the Daily/ Weekly Summary Reports as Non Production Minutes.
Then 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.
