How to calculate project Man hours and split weekly

V
viky varan 👤 Member for 8 years 2 months

Dear all,
Please help me if any one can,I calculated man hour as below described

Please correct if I am wrong,I used to calculate on thumb rule,
For example if the project cost
100.I considered 15% as
Company over head,so 100-15=85 aed
In which 85 is total cost of labor and material.
In that 85,I take 30% that means 25 is my total labor cost then I divide 25 by one hour labor cost, so I get my total man hours, to split weekly I take % of activity on weekly basis and I split the man hours, please
Tell me is this wrong or right.

Calculate Future WIP Cost

J
John Powell 👤 Member for 6 years 11 months

Hi,

I am trying to develop a working capital model for the startup I recently joined.

I am being asked to build a model to forecast cost of WIP at a given time in the future

I have Takt time, (current and future) cycle time, demand, material costs - Surely a combination of these will give me the answer?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Thanks,

In trying to educate myself thorugh YouTube, I have found that all of the instructional videos regarding contouring depend on assigning resources. This approach does not work for my project. The scenario is:
