Line Rate

Output rate of a production line, typically units per minute, hour or shift.

Examples

  1. 01The bottling line is designed for a line rate of 300 bottles per minute, set by the filler, which is the slowest machine.
  2. 02Supervisors compare the actual line rate with target every hour on the line board and note the reason for every gap.
  3. 03After the labeller's changeover is shortened, the average line rate per shift rises from 255 to 280 bottles per minute.
