How this tool works
Inputs, units and where to find them
| Input | Unit | Typical source |
|---|---|---|
| Units required | units | Units required in the period |
| Labour minutes / unit | min | Standard labour minutes per unit |
| Available hours / person | hr | Paid hours per person in the period |
| Productive efficiency | % | Share of paid hours that become productive work |
Method and formulas
- Workload = units × minutes per unit ÷ 60
- Productive hours per person = hours × efficiency
- FTE = workload ÷ productive hours per person
Limitations
- Ignores skill mix, shift coverage and absence unless built into the inputs
Typical uses
- Workforce planning
- Checking overtime or temporary labour needs
Who it is for
- Operations managers
- HR and workforce planners
What you get
- People required (rounded up) and FTE
- Workload hours
Interpreting the result
- Small spare capacity after rounding means little cover for absence
