Calculate warehouse units per labor hour, orders per labor hour, and labor minutes per unit from daily output and staffing time.
Methodology
How this calculator works
Creates a simple productivity baseline that can be tracked before and after a warehouse process change.
Use the result
Turn the number into a decision
Keep the work definition and product mix consistent when comparing periods; otherwise the productivity trend can be misleading.
Use this result when warehouse and continuous-improvement teams need a measurable baseline for labor, flow, throughput, or service-level decisions.
Run at least three scenarios—conservative, expected, and upside—so one optimistic assumption does not drive the project.
