|
< 11 if no ethanol produced; <20 for full ethanol production |
|
Sustainability measure includes cane as major raw material as well as material amounts of chemicals, fuels etc. Standard required varies between 2 limits depending on proportions of sugar and ethanol produced. If a mill exports power, any fuels purchased are omitted from raw materials. |

|
Standard values depend on whether rain-fed or irrigated. Value for reporting period or 5 year rolling average can be used. |
|
Working hours lost as percent of total hours worked |
|
|
|
|
|
This represents working hours lost through absence (all unplanned causes - strikes, sickness, absenteeism etc. but not holiday, legal time off such as maternity leave, or training) |
|
Mill overall time efficiency |
|
|
|
|
|
Processing time as a percentage of total time. Value for reporting period or 5 year rolling average can be used. |

Factory Performance Index |
|
|
|
|
|
Used if sugar and not ethanol is produced. Ratio of actual sugar recovery to theoretical recovery of sugar from cane. In rare cases where high grade molsses is exported for fermentation, industrial efficiency can be used instead. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Used only if sugar and ethanol are produced in the same mill. It is the ratio of (sugar+equivalent ethanol+eq.sucrose in molasses)/(sucrose in cane+RS in cane converted to sucrose+RS in molasses converted to sucrose+yeast eq to sucrose), expressed as a %. |
