Efficency calculation

Hi

I would like to ask how to calculate efficiency in terms of output/input *100 as a % run rate

Example
20 bottles checked in 45 minutes
30 bottles checked in 1 hours 5 mins
50 bottles checked in 3 hours 20 mins

Using the above data, how can I present this as a efficiency calculation?

Many Thanks

RE: Efficency calculation

Hi Kay,

Thanks for your question in STL's forum.

To answer your question I need a little more information.

Are the duration entries in Excel listed exactly as you mention in your question i.e. do you have a cell that contains the entry:
'45 minutes' or does it just say 45 or does it say 0.45

And are the entries for durations over one hour listed the same as you mention in your question? i.e. 1 hours 5 mins or is it listed as 1.05.

It would really help if you would send me a little sample of the data as it is actually stored in your spreadsheet. Once I have that I can answer your question

Kind regards

Hi Ron,

Thanks for your prompt reply.

I am struggling to send the sample data to you as the above email keeps failing. Please advice on an alternative email.

Just to confirm the time entry is in (hh:mm)for example 01:05 and 00:45.

Thanks

Hi Kay,

I hope I understand what you want.

Please find attached file. I got a little exited when I did it so I have added a number of statistics to my answer.

It is the column in yellow.

Hi Kay,

I am so sorry I gave you the wrong email address.
It was .co.uk instead of .com

so ron.oldeboom@stl-training.co.uk

My apologies.

If Jens already gave you the answer you are looking for would you do us a favour and mark the query as resolved?

If not you can send your file to the right email address

Again, sorry for the confusion

RE: Efficency calculation

Hi Jen,

Thanks so much for taking the time for your answer.


I can see values vary from 16% to 27% in your example - what is the logic to the percentage displayed - is this the run rate? Is it assumed the higher % = more efficient

Thanks
