To determine the number of records filed per productive hour per full-time equivalent (FTE), we can break down the situation as follows:

First, we need to calculate the total productive hours available from the three FTEs. Since each FTE works 88% of their time, we need to establish the total working hours per day. Assuming a standard workday has 8 hours, we calculate the productive hours as follows:

  • Total hours worked by all FTEs per day: 3 FTEs x 8 hours/FTE = 24 hours.

  • Productive hours (considering the 88% utilization): 24 hours x 0.88 = 21.12 hours.

Next, we know that the filing team files 1,000 records per day. To find out how many records are filed per productive hour overall, we divide the total number of daily filed records by the total productive hours:

  • Records filed per productive hour: 1,000 records / 21.12 hours ≈ 47.4 records per productive hour.

Now, to find out how many records are filed per productive hour per FTE, we divide the records filed per productive hour by the number of FTEs:
