calc_staff {businessPlanR}

Calculate the number of staff persons necessary to complete a task

Description

Calculates two values (split by 'boom_months') and returns both in a vector, so that there's never a shortage of staff.

Usage

calc_staff(
  task,
  workdays = 205,
  hours = 8,
  rnd = 0.25,
  boom_months = 6,
  boom_pct = 0.5
)

Arguments

task

The total number of hours to get done in one year.

workdays

Numeric, average total working days for a staff person. 205 is the conservative lower end for Germany, see https://www.deutschlandinzahlen.de/tab/deutschland/arbeitsmarkt/arbeitszeit/arbeitstage.

hours

Number of hours per working day.

rnd

Round numbers up to this next fraction of a part-time job.

boom_months

Number of months with highest workload, e.g., festival summer

boom_pct

Total fraction of task that needs to be done during boom_months.

Details

Set boom_months=6 and boom_pct=.5 to get all hours spread evenly across the year.

Value

A named vector with two elements, high (number of staff needed for months with higher workload) and low (number of staff needed for months with lower workload).

Examples

calc_staff(12328)
