Calculating Productivity and Staffing Levels
Two simple formulas that accurately calculate labor productivity are:
Completed work= Total work output – Defective work
And
Labor productivity=(Completed work output)/(Hours worked to produce total work output)

 (Tip: completed work output are records that have been coded accurately. This number may not be the same as the total work output.)

Use the following table to calculate the number of charts completed per hours worked and the department averages.
