  • Planned man hours must be specified for IWPs when you calculate crew size.

  • In order to calculate crew size, the Numerical Crew Size option must be selected in the Manage Crew Size by box of the Smart Construction system settings. For more information, see Configure and update system settings for Smart Construction.

How is crew size calculated?

Crew size is calculated for each selected IWP using the formula:

Crew Size = (Planned Man Hours) / ((Duration in days - non-working days) * Hours Worked Per Day)

What's the difference between a working day and a non-working day?

A working day is a day on the calendar when work is done. A non-working day is when work is not done. SmartPlant Foundation administrators can specify working and non-working days in the system calendar in SmartPlant Foundation Desktop Client. For more information, see Configure the SmartPlant Foundation System Calendar for the Smart Construction Work Package Schedule window.

When you specify non-working days, you can choose to ignore them in calculating duration and crew size. If you ignore the non-working day in your calculation, the non-working day would be considered a work day. If you include the non-working in your calculation, work does not occur on a non-working day. For example, if you set non-working days for Saturday and Sunday and duration is calculated for five days with work starting on Thursday and non-working days are included, Smart Construction calculates the IWP to end on Wednesday.

If you set non-working days for Saturday and Sunday and duration is calculated for five days with work starting on Thursday and non-working days are ignored, Smart Construction calculates the IWP to end on Monday.
