Importance of efficiency in manpower requirement calculation For calculating manpower for balanced assembly line there is another method and i will explain in line balancing.Īlso in this calculation it is assumed that every operator is skilled for every operation and they are ready to do all operation whenever needed. This is not avoidable because we cannot balance the assembly lines at 100% perfect. For example, some operators of the balanced assembly line will be idle to some extend, especially the operator at the operation which has the lowest cycle time, waiting for his turn. Enforced idle means the operator is forced to be idle due to some other reasons of his working environment. Please note that this formula is only applicable where enforced idle of the operator is not present in the operation. w is the working time of an employee per shift and s is the no of shifts per day. t is the total standard man minutes required for producing one unit.

The formula in the picture gives the manpower required per shift for producing n no of products per day.
