Revenue per labour hour is parts per person per hour multiplied by the sale value per part. It shows how much value each hour of labour produces before materials and overheads, so it is a quick screen for productivity and pricing.
| Revenue per labour hour | What it suggests | Next step |
|---|---|---|
| Under £80 | Needs attention | Check output per person, waiting, rework and pricing |
| £80 to £200 | Room to improve | Find the largest loss with an operations assessment |
| Over £200 | High performance | Protect it and look at digitalisation to scale |
