Efficiency

Enter the average efficiency percentage for this work center or operation. For costing, this field indicates how efficient this work center is at converting actual hours of work capacity to standard hours of work completed. Typical values might range from 80.0% to 100.0%.

For scheduling, Efficiency is used in estimating the run time and setup time of jobs (setup hours or run hours * (100 / Efficiency)).

If you specify the Efficiency Factor on the Scheduling Parameters form, both efficiency values will be applied. Efficiency factor is a global modifier that is applied to every operation and Efficiency is an operation-specific modifier.

Note: The default is from the Work Centers form. Updating this field on the operation does not update it in the Work Center record.
