MAN HOUR PLANNING
 

Can anyone give me a formula for man hour planning?
I need to use it to calculate man hours for "line" , "a" checks and "c" checks .
Thanks in advance

not sure there is a formula, what you need is the MPD, what tasks are needed and the manhours, elapsed time for each task, then add them up. C checks we used to say for each manhour scheduled x2 for defects/rectification etc.

I wonder if somebody could provide me a simple formula which i can use it to calculate A check man hours (per check ) and C check man hours ( per check ) roughly. Then i can get an idea how much man hours i need for up coming A or C check.

What aircraft are we talking here ?

lets say A330

Sheronfrd,

The information you are looking for tends to be regarded as commercially sensitive and is at its essence the commercial end of a maintenanceorganisation.

The big variable here is as Beech_boy says, what is the aircraft?

I would suggest that if this is an academic exercise that you discuss this with a maintenance organisation, or if you are using this practically then youneed to take into account a lot of things, as a starting list:

· Experience or the engineers carrying out thecheck

· Experience of the engineers at carrying out thatcheck

· Age of the aircraft

· Who previously maintained the aircraft

· Availability of any specialist tooling

· Availability of spares

I’m sure others will suggest more variables, but I would suggest that you doyour homework so you get an understanding of the process and variablesapplicable to your own organisation.

check this formula

A CHECK MH'S (PER CHK) = E (LINE TASKS) + E (A CHECK TASKS) {TASK MH'S * (A CHECK INTERVEL / TASK INTERVEL) }

P.S.
E = SIGMA

AMP Vs MPD - they can different
