📈 Understanding Metrics
Efficiency Percentage
Formula: (Actual Hours / Estimated Hours) × 100
- >100%: Faster than planned ✅
- =100%: Exactly on target ✅
- <100%: Slower than planned ⚠️
Material Variance
Formula: Actual Used - Planned Usage
- Negative: Used less than planned ✅ (Efficient)
- Zero: Used exactly as planned ✅
- Positive: Used more than planned ⚠️ (Investigate)
OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness)
Formula: Availability × Performance × Quality
- >85%: World-class ✅
- 60-85%: Good ✅
- <60%: Needs improvement ⚠️
