IBD short description: Personnel

This page explains how the labor expenditures are estimated and used in IBD for your business planning. The labor input models of IBD are flexible and suitable for both small and large firms. They can reflect personnel skills, rationed and fixed man-hours, labor inputs distributed in time, post-production labor expenditures, scheduled man-hours, partial employment, salary delay and collection, etc. IBD calculates the future demand for each personnel specialty and skills and the expected total salary payments. 

There may be some types of personnel necessary for manufacture, development, service and management in your firm.

 IBD presents flexible models to calculate the required amount of labor (man-hours), the quantity and the cost of each personnel type. You can define: the labor norms per product unit depending on time to the product output; the fixed amount of a labor necessary for the product output independently on its output value; the labor quantity required for a product output and depending only on the calendar time unit. 

Here you can see some forms called from Personnel menu and allowing to describe all these features. In these forms the white fields are intended for data input, the blue ones are calculated or selected by IBD.  

Personnel - lists the personnel types (and some their data) necessary to perform all production, management and development processes in your firm.

Personnel types used for each product - allows to select the personnel types used to output the specified product. 

Labor norms - describes the dependence between required man-hours of each used personnel type and the product output. You can define the required labor amount per product unit and the month when it should be inputted relatively to the product output time. For example, if you defined the relative Number of months to the product output as (-1), then the labor should be used a month before the product output. Say, for a product output in August the labor should be expended in July. The same labor type can be inputted also directly in the month of the product output (the relative Number of months = 0) or even after the output (the Number of months > 0), for example, the labor to support the delivered product during a guaranteed support time. 

You can also define required the labor amount necessary to provide the product output independently on its value, e.g. for the product manufacture equipment support or its marketing.

Personnel quantity and cost - calculates the total quantity and the cost of each applied personnel type for each product and time unit. You can input the fixed labor needs not depending on the output of the selected product, but depending on the calendar time. This feature can be used, for example, to describe the labor inputs for the product research, development and the production organization.

In this form you can input also the existing value and expected trend of each man-hour cost.

The required personnel quantity is calculated by dividing the required man-hours by the average available monthly or annual work hours of 1 person of the selected personnel type. Decimals in the personnel quantity sometimes can be considered as the part of the time unit work hours, when the additional person should be used.  

Total personnel cost - calculates the total salary of each personnel type in each time unit and the total personnel salary.
