Overtime hours and productivity: HINT – SEE TABLE 8.4 for this problem The key is to use Table 8.4 (old book 13.8) to determine the. effective labor hours at standard productivity with the x workers given, then convert that to a 40 hour schedule. From the table use the productivity rate for weeks 1 and 2, then for weeks 3 and 4.From Table 8.3 (old book 13.8) for week 1 and 2 effective labor hours or actual hour output for 50-hour weekis 46.3 hours and for week 3 and 4 is 45 hours:For calculating the size of the crew, we should divide total effective labor hours 40-hours times the number of weeks. THE PROBLEM: A project is scheduled to last four weeks. This schedule is based on a crew of 7 workers (Crew A) working 10 hours per day for 5 days per week. The wage is $16 per hour for regular hours. Beyond 8 hours per day or 40 hours per week, the pay is increased by a multiplier of 1.25, i.e., $20 per hour. (a) Determine the number of labor hours actually worked based on this schedule. (Man hours = _____________) (b) From the table, use the productivity rates for weeks 1 and 2, then 3 and 4 to calculate the effective labor hours at standard productivity. (Effective labor hours = ______) (c) Calculate the size of the crew (Crew B) required to do a standard 40 hour week over the same 4-week period. (Use whole numbers for the crew size – the weeks can be fractional) (Size of Crew B =___________) (d) Calculate the labor costs of Crew A: (Cost of Crew A =$_____) (e) Calculate the labor cost of Crew B: (Cost of Crew B =$______)
