The labor efficiency ratio measures the relationship between the number of labour hours used to produce a unit of output and the number of hours that would be considered standard for that unit of output. By improving this ratio, a business can increase productivity in the following ways:
- Reducing wasted time and increasing worker efficiency
- Improving processes to minimize the time needed to produce a unit
- Hiring and training more efficient workers
- Implementing technology to automate repetitive tasks
- Streamlining production through better planning and scheduling
