MEASURED STEPS TOOLS
Labor Productivity Calculator
Explore how improved productivity could release labor capacity. Compare your current performance with a target at the same weekly volume.
Your operation
Use the same unit throughout: orders, cases, lines, or units. Current and target rates must cover the same work and labor scope. The starting values are examples.
Weekly opportunity
Enter your figures and select Calculate opportunity.
Capacity released is not guaranteed cash savings. Financial savings depend on actual changes in overtime, staffing, or other spending. This estimate excludes implementation costs and assumes unchanged volume, work mix, and service quality.

Labor hours = weekly volume ÷ units per labor hour.
Capacity released = current labor hours − target labor hours.
Capacity value = hours released × fully loaded hourly labor cost.
