    The time that machine i needs in order to process job j is denoted by p i,j. The term unrelated emphasizes that there is no relation between values of p i,j for different i and j . This is in contrast to two special cases of this problem: uniform-machines scheduling - in which p i,j = p i / s j (where s j is the speed of machine j ), and ...

One or more time cards could serve as a timesheet or provide the data to fill one. This allowed a timekeeper to have an official record of the hours an employee worked to calculate the pay owed an employee.

  9. Utilization rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utilization_rate

    Looked at simply, there are two methods to calculate the utilization rate. The first method calculates the number of billable hours divided by the number of hours recorded in a particular time period. For example, if 40 hours of time is recorded in a week but only 30 hours of that was billable, the utilization rate would then be 30 / 40 = 75%.
