Staffing formula
The calculator converts demand into labour hours, then divides those hours by the regular working time available per person.
People needed = demand ÷ rate per person ÷ regular hours
CALCULATOR 03
Staffing & Overtime
Check whether the available team can finish the work inside regular hours—and what overtime may cost if it cannot.

Work and staffing
Saved on this deviceBefore scheduling overtime
- Confirm the per-person rate reflects the actual job and product.
- Check whether a machine or material constraint—not labour—is the real bottleneck.
- Compare overtime cost with moving work, changing sequence or adding trained support.
- Allow time for startup, breaks and cleanup when those are not already in the productivity rate.
