Work-in-process (WIP) inventory turns
This asset management measure is typically calculated as the cost of goods sold (COGS) for the year divided by the average on-hand work-in-process material value (i.e. the value of all materials, components, and subassemblies representing partially completed production) at plant cost for the most recently completed fiscal year. Plant cost includes material, labor, and plant overhead. This measure is part of a set of Process Efficiency measures that help companies optimize the performance of their "produce product" process by minimizing waste and refining resource consumption.

Process efficiency
Process efficiency represents how well a process converts its inputs into outputs. A process that converts 100% of the inputs into outputs without waste is more efficient than one that converts a similar amount of inputs into fewer outputs.
