Lines per direct hour = lines ÷ direct hours. Direct-time share = direct hours ÷ paid hours. Target hours = lines ÷ target rate.

How to use the result

Use the same scope, period and units when comparing shifts or sites. Investigate the process behind the number before setting a target. A higher rate is useful only when accuracy, safety and service remain controlled.

Data checks before calculation

Keep direct task hours separate from breaks, meetings and unrelated work.
Use one unit of measure throughout the calculation.
Record exclusions and approved adjustments instead of silently changing source data.
Compare against your verified historical baseline, workload mix and operating constraints.
