Formula for Picking Rates

    I am trying to do a formula within excel to find out Picking rates within a Warehouse to measure the picking team,
    I know it is normally done by cases picked within a shift then divide by hours spent on the picking task
    eg 1000 cases picked in 8 hour shift equates to pick rate 125 cases an hour,
    Examples belowIssue I have is eg

    Pick 1. 70 cases 50 products(50 Lines) on the order which means the picker must go to 50 locations to pick the order, time taken 50 minutes.

    Pick 2. 70 cases 5 products (5 Lines) on order which means picker must go to 5 locations to pick order, time taken 10 minutes .

    What formula can I use that will take into account cases picked and also the amount of Lines on the order so all is equal when doing the pick rate measure,

    Picker A. may pick 500 cases that day and pick 400 Lines

    Picker B. my pick 1400 cases that day and pick 110 Lines ,

    So how to get the perfect formula ?

    Tks

    you need to determine a difficulty multiplier.

    So for each additional lane the multiplier might be 0.1

    50 minutes / (50 lanes * 0.1) = 10 minutes

    Only you can come up with the difficulty multiplier

    Picker A. may pick 500 cases that day and pick 400 Lines

    500 cases / (400 * 0.1) = 12.5

    Picker B. my pick 1400 cases that day and pick 110 Lines ,

    1400 cases / (110 *0.1) = 127

    Lowest score wins. I dunno. I'm tired. Haha
