I have 39 technicians working 8 hours a day.
The technicians should be loaded with 4.5 jobs per day, but are currently loaded with 2.4 jobs per day.
:
Total man-hrs available: 39*8 = 312 man-hrs
Find the man=hrs per job
= 69 man-hrs per job
2.4 jobs require: 2.4 * 69 = 166.4 man-hrs
:
What is the formula to find available hours?
let j = no. of jobs being done
then
man-hrs = 312 - 69.33j
:
312 - 69.33(2.4) = 145.6 man=hrs available for addition jobs
another words
= 2.1 additional similar jobs can be added
