Staffing Calculation

Calculation of required labor based on work content, takt, utilization, allowances and operating hours.

Examples

  1. 01The staffing calculation for the new line uses 270 seconds of work content per unit, a takt of 60 seconds and a 90 % efficiency factor, giving 5 operators.
  2. 02Every quarter, the staffing calculation is updated with the latest forecast and work content, so hiring and overtime decisions are based on facts.
  3. 03After work content is cut by 30 seconds per unit, the staffing calculation shows that one operator can move to another line.
