Target Man Hours versus Time S Curve

To generate the Actual and Target S Curves, a Production Schedule is required.A Production Schedule for this project is shown below.

Figure 13: Production Schedule

To generate a Target Man Hours versus Time S Curve, two sets of calculations are performed.The first set of calculations are performed for each task in the Production Schedule.(1) Calculate the duration in days for each task.ie. Duration = Finish Date - Start Date + 1(2) Calculate Man Hours per day for each task.ie. MHs per Day = Man Hours / Duration

These calculations are shown in the following table.

The second set of calculations are performed for each day in the Production Schedule.(3) Calculate the total Man Hours per Day for all tasks.(4) Calculate the Year To Date Total for Man Hours per Day for all tasks.

These calculations are shown in the following table.

The resulting Target Man Hours versus Time S Curve is shown below.
