Labour Hours per Order Calculator
Divide your direct labour hours by completed orders from the same period to get one period average.
Uses one reporting period and returns one aggregate average. No employee scoring or benchmark.
A QUICK WALKTHROUGH
How to use this tool
- Enter direct labour hours for the chosen period.
- Enter completed orders from that same period.
- Review the average direct labour hours per completed order.
Formula and period basis
Average direct labour hours per completed order = direct labour hours in the chosen period ÷ completed orders in that same period. Include only the direct labour hours you intend to measure and use a consistent definition of a completed order.
One aggregate average
The result is one average for the selected period. It does not score or compare employees and provides no benchmark.
