Understanding Efficiency: Grasping the Real Output of 720 Hours at 6 Heads per Hour When evaluating productivity metrics—especially in production, workflow planning, or staffing—common misunderstandings arise. One frequent confusion: “6 heads per hour—only 6 hours for 720 total outputs?” That’s a fundamental miscalculation. Let’s clarify the facts. ### The Misconception: 6 Heads, 6 Hours, 6×6 = 36? Many assume that if “6 heads” work simultaneously, completing a total of 720 units in 6 hours, then output per hour drops when spread across all heads. The incorrect belief is:
- 6 heads × 6 hours = 36 head-hours
- 720 units ÷ 6 hours = 120 units per hour → implying “only 120/hr achievable with 6 heads”
