About this metric
What is it?
A measure of workload balance across stations — line efficiency and balance delay.
How is it calculated?
Efficiency = total task time / (stations × cycle time); theoretical min stations = total task / cycle time.
How to interpret it?
Above 85% is good; low efficiency means idle capacity, waiting and uneven load.
How to improve it?
Redistribute tasks, split the bottleneck station, set standard work, balance with a yamazumi chart.
