Labor targets are set on the Labor Goals tab. The hours to schedule to meet those targets are calculated by the system using this equation:
Hours to schedule = (Projected Sales / Labor Hour Yield) + Base Hours
Where:
•Projected Sales come from the Sales Forecast. •Labor Hour Yield comes from the target figure entered on the Labor Goals tab during setup. •Base Hours are entered on the Labor Goals tab during setup. |
