Unit 6 - Labour

cheeky Biker

Can anyone please explain to me what Standard labour hour produced is please, I'm currently studing through osborne books text books ready for my simulation next week and a couple of the questions in chater 3 ask about this?

Please help if you can!

The textbook gives a definition 'the quantity of work that can be achieved by one worker in one hour, at a standard level of performance'.


If you are referring to question 3.4 in the Costing workbook, you would calculate as follows:

1. 160 units of product Exe @ 5 mins = 800mins

2. 100 units of product Wye @ 6 mins = 600mins

3. 250 units of product Zed @ 4 mins = 1000mins

Therefore standard labour hours are 40 hours (2400 mins)

Thank you, I feel like such an idiot cos I had the 2400 but didn't divide it into hours.
