John,

you need to look at their trade working rule agreements for the cost factors as opposed to the productivity (output) rates.

We found that some agreements for instance give a second 0.5 hr pm break for a 10 hr day shift as opposed to a 10 min tea break on a 8 hr day shift. Others allowed the breaks to be taken (or not) at the end of the day shift. Other work agreements insist on doing the 40 hours before you were eligible to do the o/t.

If you want generalisation - these might be applied

                               Output/hr          Cost

8 hr x 5 day shift         1.0                1.0

10hr x 5 day shift         1.0                1.1

10hr x 6 day shift         0.9               1.25

12hr x 5 day shift          0.8              1.5

12 hr x 5 night shift       0.7              2.5

9 day x 10 hr rotating shift 0.9          1.25

Could well be a diference if you want CtE rather than Manpower costs and need to add in additional supervision costs.
