What is Man-hour?


A man-hour or person-hour is the amount of work performed by an average worker in one hour. It is used in written "estimates" for estimation of the total amount of uninterrupted labour required to perform a task. Man-hours do not take account of the breaks that people generally require from work, e.g. for rest, eating, and other bodily functions. They only count pure labour. Managers count the man-hours and add break time to estimate the amount of time a task will actually take to complete.
Man-hour depends on:
1- What type of activity / work we are doing.
2- What are the target dates?
3- What sort of deliverables we want to produce.
4- Human resources qualifications needed.
Man-hour estimation is very important for any project.
1.      Talented, self driven manpower will ease job of his supervisor and superiors and supervision hours is minimized
2. Skilled workers take less time in completing the work than unskilled workers
3. Assessment of project is very important before calculating the man-hour
4. Man-hour also depends on bifurcating the project into various divisions
5. Each division will give us an idea of where to use machinery, application of mind, which can do and how it can be done and what are the timelines
6. A resource planning is another aspect where one should know the strength & weakness of his or her resources.
7. Delegating the right man for the right job is the core planning for successful completion of the project as the materials get shape from the efforts of the manpower
8. Not only right men for the right job but committed professionals are also mandatory
9. Now everything said and done calculation begins Measure the size of the project in hand and also number of man power going to be deployed for this project. Parallel plan for the infrastructure required for the project
10. Now we can broadly classify the tentative time for the completion of the project by the strength and knowledge of our manpower
11. We will get a tentative time from each of our resources to finally calculate the man-hours required each day and splitting the project phase wise till the tentative time in completing our project successfully.
