sorry. One operator may begin the day on one job, a couple of hours later he
might begin another job in the same work center, different machine....ALWAYS
a different machine. After two hours he stops job #2 and finish his eight
hours on job #1. This gives him 7 hours on job 1 and 1 hour on job 2 as we
are splitting direct hours. The efficiencies are measured against how many
parts SHOULD have been produced in 2 hours (earned hours) although he
actually only worked on that one job for one hour, thus a 50% efficiency is
actually 100%. I could handle it if this was as complex as it gets, but
juggling several jobs, splitting 37 minutes over four jobs and 58 minutes
over 5 jobs then stopping one of them and then distributing time over the
remaining four....... Sheesh! It can be a nightmare.
