How to Measure Machine Efficiency?

The concept of measuring machine efficiency is almost the same as calculating operator efficiency. In this article, we will learn how to calculate machine efficiency.

Sewing Machine Efficiency Calculation

We know that efficiency is the ratio of produced minutes to spent minutes multiplied by 100.

Machine efficiency is the ratio of total produced minutes produced by a machine to the total minutes spent by this machine multiplied by 100. The common formula to calculate efficiency is-

For the calculation of machine efficiency, here-

Output                        = Number of garments pieces produced by a machine

SMV                            = Standard Minute Value of the process run in the machine

Manpower                  = 1 (as Individual Machine/Single machine)

Working minute        = Total minutes run to produce the garments.

Example:

A machine output is 1300 pcs in 10 hours. SMV of the process run in this machine is 0.36. What is the efficiency of this machine?

Here,

Output                        = 1300 pcs

SMV                            = 0.36

Manpower                  = 1

Working Minute        = 10 hours = 10 × 60 = 600 minutes

If we put all the value in the efficiency formula we will find the efficiency of this operator.

So, Efficiency = [(1300 × 0.36)/(1 × 600)] × 100 = 78%
