About this metric

What is it?

The required headcount for your workload (staffing norm) and labor productivity per person.

How is it calculated?

Work content = daily output × standard time; required staff = work content / (net time × utilization).

How to interpret it?

Overstaffing means cost, understaffing means overtime and delays; the utilization target must be realistic.

How to improve it?

Validate standard times with work study, balance tasks, and build a multi-skilled team (normmetre).

Measuring is the first step; lasting gains come from implementing together on the field.
