Calculation of Load

When setup time and quantities completed or scrapped are not reported against an operation, the labor and machine setup and run load is calculated as follows:

Labor Setup Load

Labor Setup Load Hours = Standard Labor Setup Hours x Number of People

Machine Setup Load

Machine Setup Load Hours = Standard Machine Setup Hours x Number of Machines

Calculation of Run Load

Labor Run Load = Standard Labor Run Hours x Number of People

Machine Run Load = Standard Machine Run Hours x Number of Machines

When setup time is reported against an operation, the setup reported is determined and then the setup load is decreased by the amount reported.

Calculation of Setup Reported

Labor Setup Reported = Setup Labor Time Reported / Number of Persons

Machine Setup Reported = Setup Machine Time Reported
                                            Number of Machines

Calculation of Setup Load

Labor Setup Load Hours = (Standard Labor Setup Hours - Setup Labor Time Reported) x Number of Persons

Machine Setup Load Hours = (Standard Machine Setup Hours - Setup Machine Time Reported) x Number of Machines

When quantities completed and/or scrapped are reported, the run quantities reported are determined and the labor and machine run load is calculated as follows:

Calculation of Run Completed

Run Completed = (Quantity Completed + Quantity Scrapped) x Piece Rate*

*  Piece rate  = may be expressed in terms of hours/piece or pieces/hour.

Calculation of Run Reported for a Noncrew Operation

Run Reported = Run Complete / Number of Persons

or

Run Reported = Run completed / Number of machines

Calculations of Run Reported for a Crew Operation

Run Reported = Run Completed

Calculation of Run Load

Labor Load Hours = (Standard Labor Run Hours - Run Reported) x Number of Persons

Machine Load Hours = (Standard Machine Run Hours - Run Reported) x Number of Machines

If completed or scrapped quantities are reported, the setup load is assumed to be zero.

For fixed time operations, if any quantity completed or scrapped is reported, the operation is assumed to be complete.  For MRP parts that are batch sensitive, the remaining load is depicted.
