Production Metrics - remember, if you measure it, it will improve.
Production Metrics allow L2L users to track and display various measurables. Which metrics you use and display are controlled by enabling or disabling them individually in the Production Module under Settings > Production Statistics
While everyone has visibility to enabled Production Statistics, only those users with Administrator Level access in the Production Module are able to modify which metrics are utilized and displayed.
(Actual * Planned Takt Time) / 3600
Labor Minutes Per Unit (LMPU) †
(Operator Count * (Planned Production Minutes + Non Production Minutes))/Actual
(Operator Count * (Planned Production Minutes + Non Production Minutes) / 60 ) / Actual Man Hours (Operator Count * Planned Production Minutes) / 60)
(Operator Count * Planned Production Minutes)/ 60
OA % (Operational Availability) †
(Planned Production Minutes - Downtime Minutes) / Planned Production Minutes * 100
OEE % (Overall Equipment Effectiveness)
OA% * Quality% * Performance per Part%
- OA% = (Planned Production Minutes - Downtime Minutes) / Planned Production Minutes * 100
- Quality% = Actual / (Actual + Scrap)
- Performance per Part% = (Cycle Time / Run Rate)
- Run Rate = (Planned Production Time - Downtime) / (Actual + Scrap)
Parts Produced per Man Hour (PPMH) †
(Actual+Scrap)/(Operator Count * Planned Production Minutes)
Parts Produced per Hour (PPH) †
(Actual+Scrap)/Planned Production Minutes
PEFF (Production Efficiency) †
Actual/Demand * 100
Pace †
(Actual - Demand)
Pitch Pace (Number of Pitches Ahead/Behind) †
(Actual-Demand) / (Average Demand To Date)
Production Quality/Yield Percentage
Actual/(Actual+Scrap)
Scrap/(Actual + Scrap) * 100
Actual Parts Produced / Theoretical Parts per Pitch
- Theoretical Parts per Pitch = Planned Production Time in Seconds / Line Cycle Time in Seconds
Cycle Time / Run Rate
- Run Rate = (Planned Production Time - Downtime) / (Actual + Scrap)
Total Operator Count * (Planned Production Minutes - Downtime Minutes) / Actual Production
Operator Count * Downtime
Earned Minutes / Available Minutes
- Available Minues = Planned Minutes - Planned Changeover Minutes
- Earned Minutes = (Actual Parts * Planned Cycle Time) / 60
- Planned Cycle Time = (Planned Production Minutes / Demand) * 60
Labor Efficiency (Ideal Cycle Time)
Labor Efficiency (with Ideal Cycle Time) = Earned Minutes/ Available Minutes
Available Minutes = Planned Minutes - Planned Changeover Minutes
Earned Minutes = Actual Parts * Ideal Cycle Time / 60
Reject / (Actual + Reject)
DPMU (Defects per Million Units)
Total # of Defects / Total # of Units produced (including scrap) x 1000000
Note: If any of the above labels are left blank, the Reports that use these metrics will use an internal system code in its place.
† Data gathered from the current pitch will be prorated. You can read more about it in our Prorated Production Metrics article.
