Measure how much insulation work a crew completes for each worker-hour, then convert the observed output into a practical planning rate. Enter completed quantity, crew size, shift length, number of shifts, and an efficiency factor. The results separate raw field productivity from a more conservative rate you can use when estimating labor and comparing crews.
Planning rate = observed rate × efficiency percentage.
The main result normalizes completed work by total labor time. Use the per-shift output for daily reporting and the adjusted planning rate for schedules that need a realistic operating margin.
Keep scope and units consistent. A rate from one installation method, material, access condition, or crew mix may not transfer directly to another.
A 4-person crew completes 2,400 sq ft in 1 shift of 8 hours. That is 75.00 sq ft per worker-hour. At 85% efficiency, the planning rate is 63.75 sq ft per worker-hour.
Divide completed insulation quantity by total crew-hours. This page also shows the rate per workday and an efficiency-adjusted planning rate.
Include any paid time that belongs to the measured shift. Keep the time basis consistent when comparing crews.
Per-worker-hour output makes crews of different sizes easier to compare while preserving the sq ft unit.
It applies the entered efficiency factor to the observed production rate, providing a conservative rate for scheduling.
Yes. Enter the actual hours and days represented by the completed quantity; decimal values are accepted.
