Definition

Est Labor Days per month

These fields calculate the estimated number of labor days required each month to complete the Tasks associated with this Department. To find these values, the system performs the following calculations:

  • The system first finds the total number of employee hours on the Task Resources tabs. This data is entered in the Quantity field of each Employee Resource record. This provides the total number of hours required for each day's work on each Task.
  • The system then retrieves the quantity of work that can be done in one day for each Task and the number of hours in a labor day from the Task Setup tabs.

Sum of all Est Labor Days per Month = (Est Quantity per Month / Quantity that can be done in one day) * (Total Crew Hours / # of Hours in a Labor Day)

Actual Labor Days per month

The Actual Labor Days fields are automatically populated based on the total number of hours entered in Work Orders in the system.

Note: The work orders must have the same Department, the start and end dates must fall within the same Fiscal Year, and the Planning Tasks must be assigned in the Tasks and Resources grid of the Work Order before this data can be populated.

Totals

The Total fields automatically calculate the total for both columns.

% Labor Days YTD vs Planned

This field calculates how much of the planned work remains in the Fiscal Year. The estimated amount is compared with the quantity of task asset units completed in actual work orders each month.
