Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

HEllo

For our client we need schdules uploaded with manhours (Not Decipline wise).I am confused that when we talk about manhours for aa certain activity then does it means that the this value of manhours is for each decipline or it is collective.For Example
In Blinding concrete=6 Mhr/Cu.m
Does it mean 6 Mhs for Concrete Mixer,6 for mason,6 for mason helper,6 for carpenter etc....or

it is sum of manhours for each decipline?

In above example I will say that each resource will work 6 hours to pour 1 Cu.m of blinding concrete??Is it correct statement?

I would definitely say that 6 mh means the total of all of the manhours going into pouring the concrete.

@SM - You need also to visualize the quantities of each activities.

Like on your example,


1cu.m of blinding concrete (qty) = 6mhr/cu (prod.rate)


> Actually, 1-cu.m of concrete can be done in less than an hour, especially if the area to be poured is quitely open and spacious.
> @ 6mhrs/cu. m- you can do assigning 6-workers for just an hour of work to complete this activity.

 

Thanks.

Vlad,

I understand your point and the illustration you see was just an EXAMPLE of how to define the term "MAN HOUR" in the productivity.

 

I wouldn't call it productivity rate.

The work will not be accelerated if we will add helpers to this crew.

Concrete Mixer operator = 1 hr

mason = 2 hrs

mason helper = 2hrs

carpenter = 1 hr

 

The sum of hrs they work = 6 man hrs

means 6 man hours for 1 cu m of blinding is the productivity rate.
