A resources question

Is it possible within P3 to create an activity which uses x amount of resources to complete ?

In my industry of furniture building... 1 desk takes a fitter 15 minutes to complete. What I want to do is have an activity where P3 uses this information to calculate how much resource time is required to complete 100 desks within a set period of time.

For example, if I have to complete within 2 days using fitters who work a maximum of 8 hours a day, the answer would be 1.56 fitters, i.e. 2 per day after rounding up.

Hi Mike

Thank you for your suggestion which was so obvious I didn't see it :) I'm very comfortable with Excel spreadsheets and this approach has helped me shine a light on the way forward with this.

Hi Terry

Even though P3 is an old software I am sure it has some rudimentary resource modelling.

For your desk building operation you are better served using your spreadsheet to calculate resource levels.
