  • Turns staffing ramp workload workload, staffing ramp workload completion rate, setup, handling, and delay allowance into a adjusted run time for staffing ramp workload in production ramp, scale-up and launch readiness.

Formula used

  • Base staffing ramp workload time = staffing ramp workload workload ÷ staffing ramp workload completion rate
  • Required staffing ramp workload time = base staffing ramp workload time × allowance factor

Inputs explained

  • Staffing ramp workload workload: Enter the required workload from the work order, build plan, test queue, or maintenance job plan.
  • Staffing ramp workload completion rate: Use a measured completion rate from a recent production report, time study, test log, or line observation.
