Where the numbers in a resume like this come from
The figures above are made up, but each is a kind of number you can look up. Before you put one on your resume, find it in one of these places. If you cannot, describe the scope instead.
| Number | Where to find it |
|---|---|
| Throughput (orders a day, picks per labour hour) | WMS reports or shift dashboards. |
| Service level (same-day dispatch, on-time delivery) | Site performance reviews. |
| Cost per unit | The site P&L or finance’s cost-per-order report. |
| Safety (lost-time injuries, near misses) | EHS records and audit reports. |
Adapting this example
- Manufacturing operations: use OEE, yield, scrap rate and changeover time.
- Service or back-office operations: use turnaround time, accuracy, SLA attainment and cost per transaction.
- Count contract staff honestly, for example "including 300 contract staff".
- If you launched or turned around a site, give it its own bullet with the timeline.
