Calculation Formula

PPH = Total Parts Produced / Production Time (hours)

Where:
PPH = Parts Per Hour
Total Parts Produced = Number of completed parts
Production Time = Time taken to produce those parts in hours

  1. Enter the total number of parts produced during a specific period
  2. Input the production time in hours for that period
  3. Optional: Enter the production date for record-keeping
  4. Click the "Calculate" button to determine your production rate
  5. Review the Parts Per Hour (PPH) value and efficiency note

Understanding Parts Per Hour (PPH)

Parts Per Hour (PPH) is a key performance indicator in manufacturing that measures how many units are produced per hour. It helps in:

  • Tracking production efficiency
  • Comparing performance across different production runs
  • Identifying areas for process improvement
  • Setting production benchmarks

Example Calculation

Suppose you produced 120 parts in 3 hours:

PPH = 120 parts / 3 hours = 40 parts per hour

This means your production line is operating at a rate of 40 parts every hour.

Best Practices

  • Calculate PPH consistently for accurate trend analysis
  • Record production data accurately
  • Use this calculator for both manual and automated production lines
  • Compare PPH across different shifts or machines
