Man-hour Control

[Umerfarook]

Hi All

I am develpoing a man-hour control procedure for an engineering consultant company. I would appreciate if anyone of you guide me or send me the procedure. Following is the scenario

1. Company got seven engineering disciplines (Process, Piping, Electrical, Instrumentation, Civil, Vessel, Mechanical & utility).
2. Every discipline gets a budegeted Man-hours to carry out engineering for an EPC project(say piping 45000MHRS, Civil 22000 MHRS and so on).
3. At end of every month a detailed report is required to colculate the manhour spent by individual disciplines and percentage progress achieved.

I am looking for the procedure of "How to control Man-hour" and also "Manpower projections" till end of project.

I hope you will guide me in setting up procedures. Looking forward for ur cooperation.

Merci in advance

Cheers

Well, in general, manhour projections should be tied to a plan/schedule. Earned value measurements can help quantify how close the plan relates to the manhours that have been spent.

If you are just allotting manhours without tying it down to measureable work packages (tasks in a schedule), I think you will have great difficulty figuring out how to interpret the manhours that get burned (spent).

I can offer an excel sheet developed to work out Underground drainage system for construction activities on man-hour basi. Are you an engineer by the way?

Hi Researcher, welcome to the forum.

Feel free to post your Excel sheet in the templates /files forum if you like.
