How to Calculate Process Velocity

Process Velocity is a measure of performance

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

1. Find the Total throughout time and value-added time
2. Plug the above values in formula below
   
   Process Velocity=Total throughput time/value-added time
3. Sample Problem:
   
   Process Velocity= 5 weeks x 5 days x 7 hours a day/ 4 hours a day=43.75
   
   which means that it takes 43.75 times as long to complete the product as it does to do the actual work on the product itself. The lower it is, the better.
