Effective Processing Time (h)

Total number of hours a machine is occupied by processing operations. It begins by starting an operation and ends by fin­ishing an operation.

Gross Volume

Net Output (1/h)

Average number of good sheets per hour of effective processing time.

The net output per hour is defined as the net volume divided through the effective processing time. This is the time period between the first good sheet and last printed sheet (including all stops). In contrast, the net productivity takes the complete operation time from switch on to switch off into account.

The net output tells you how many good products were produced per printing hour.

Calculation: [Net Volume] / [Effective Processing Time (h)]

Net Productivity (1/h)

Average number of good sheets per hour of operating time.

The net productivity per hour is defined as the net volume divided through the whole operating time (from switch on to switch off). In contrast, the net output takes only the time between first good sheet and last printed sheet into account.
