Technician Efficiency Formula
Technician efficiency compares earned hours to actual hours worked.
TE = (J * ST / AH) * 100
Rearranged formulas:
J = (TE / 100) * AH / ST
AH = (J * ST) / (TE / 100)
ST = (TE / 100) * AH / J
- TE = technician efficiency percentage
- J = jobs completed
- ST = standard time per job
- AH = actual hours worked
Time values must use the same base unit. The calculator converts minutes and days to hours before calculating. Standard time should represent the expected labor time for one completed job.
Useful Tables
| Efficiency result | What it means |
|---|---|
| Below 100% | Actual time was greater than earned standard time. |
| 100% | Actual time matched the standard time exactly. |
| Above 100% | Actual time was less than earned standard time. |
| Time unit | Hours equivalent |
|---|---|
| 1 minute | 0.0167 hours |
| 1 hour | 1 hour |
| 1 day | 24 hours |
Example
If a technician completes 8 jobs, each with a standard time of 1.5 hours, the earned time is 12 hours. If the technician worked 10 actual hours, efficiency is:
TE = (8 * 1.5 / 10) * 100 = 120%
A 120% result means the work was completed faster than the standard time allowed.
