In order to calculate a production line efficiency you need to obtain data of the number of pieces and the number of hours worked. In addition, you will also need to obtain the piece/min data by conducting a time study at the front and end of line (ensure that they are equal).
Following the collection of this data you can approach it in this manner:
Number of pieces total / number of minutes of production= Avg. pieces per min
Now... take your (Avg pieces per min/actual piece per min count) x 100= efficiency percentage
OR
actual piece per min ratex number of actual production minutes = total estimated pieces
now....(total actual pieces/total estimated) x 100= efficiency percentage

Producing several different products on the same production line. After an initial production run has been made with one product, a second product will be produced, and so on. It allows maximizing productivity on the production line. allows maximizing productivity on the production line.
