Machine productivity- Application and Calculation
Productivity is the relationship between the quantity of
output and the quantity of input in a specific timeframe. If you calculate for 10
hours shift in a line or factory, you need to consider output of 10 hours.
Total production in pcs & total number of Machines involve to produce those
quantity is required to calculate Machine productivity. Machine Productivity is
one of the measuring tools of a machine’s capability to convert the raw inputs
into a complete product.
Machine Productivity = Total produced garments in a day ÷ Number
of machines Used
Calculation of
Machine Productivity:
To calculate machine productivity of a line/factory,
following data need to consider.
·
Total produced quantity of a line/factory
·
Total number of machines used to produce those
quantity
·
Total shift working hours.
If we calculate it in 10/8 hours then we need to consider
all output & number of used machines data also 10/8 hours.
For example:
A Factory produce 12000 pcs with 220 machines in 8 hours
shift then,
Machine productivity at 8 hours = 12000/220 = 55 pcs
If we want it at 10 hours then calculate output of 10 hours
& number of machines involve there to get the result.
A production line produce 150 pcs with 22 machines in an
hour then,
Machine productivity at hourly = 150/22 = 6.82 pcs.
High productive machines will increase labor productivity in that way increase total production. It will help to reduce cost & make the garments
cheaper. That’s why maximum manufacturing company are using technology updated
machines to increase machine and labor productivity.
