Create New Table advice

I am creating a table that will store my companys annual punctuality
scale. What is the best way to name the columns? Here is some sample
rows with data.

--------------------------------------
DPT_CODE_1 | 300 | 121 | 120 | 61 | 60
DPT_CODE_2 | 360 | 241 | 240 | 121 | 120

Thanks for any advice.

Umm, name the columns based on what they represent.

The following rows don't have any meaning to them.

I mean I could simply name them: Code, Number1, Number2, Number3, Number4,
Number5 but that's not very useful.
--------------------------------------
DPT_CODE_1 | 300 | 121 | 120 | 61 | 60
DPT_CODE_2 | 360 | 241 | 240 | 121 | 120

Thanks for any advice.

1.Avoid reserved words
2.singular or plural , it probably doesn't matter
