LAflOR PRODUCTIVITY

Labor force is the most valuable asset of production in any

~ at anytime, probably anywhere, notwithstanding the
em application of automated operation and computer tech-

In this study, labor productivity analysis is based on per-

.. nce of a crew with a set of equipment for a given job. The
o production tables which a re mostly interfaced with a list of
:-:opriate tools and equipment are statistical figures gathered
:-::.ugh monitoring feedbacks from different projects performed
::uierent places in the Philippines and from few Asian countries.
- --e selection of manhours for a specific item of work the esti-
_ shall base his judgment on the following factors that
- .... ~ productivity. if and when the average value is doubtful:

a) Condition of Present Economy - good economy usually

means high employment opportunities. When employ-
ment is hi!;h, the demand for good labor is also high and
your standard of production has to be" adjusted accord-
dingly.
b) Skilled Labor AlXlilabilit)" - estimator may have to
attune labor cost estimate against locally available
skilled labor if and when mobilization of skilled labor
from main base becomes more expe nsive.
c) Supervision and Project M anagemen t - as in the case
of (b), local supervisors and managers may have to be
hired within the vicinity of the jobsite.
d) Construction Methods and Equipment - A weH-planned
method and efficient, good conditioned set of appro··
priate equipment bring about high labor productivity
and minimize idle time.
e) Job Conditions - example of bad job conditions are
working in a fertil izer plant amidst emission of suffoca-
ting fumes in the atmosphere (S02) and other chemical
gases, perennial brownouts, jobs located in remote areas
where logiitics can be a problem . A machine shop with-
Qut proper ventilation is a"-lOther example.
f) Weather Condition - the estimator should refer to the
rainfall data, wind rose and typhoon history of the area
where the job is located . Conditions of access roads and
hridges should be assessed.

To compute the- percentage composite efficiency of a labor

crew, the estimator should develop a percentage value [or each of
the six (6) production factors enumerated and discu ssed above
bar.ed on actual assessment and calculate the average yalue. Con-
I
sidered to be high is when the over-all efficiency is within the
range of 90-100; average, 75-90 and the low range between 60-75_

Example 1:

With reference to table 1.6 select the composite manhours

and equipment hours in fabricating H & W substitutes with sizes
200mm to 300mm under the following percentages of production
factors :

Present Economy 90
Skilled Labor Availability 75
Supervision/Project Management 76
Methods and Equipment 90
Job Conditions , 90
Weather Condition~ .i 85
Total 505

Average = 505/6 = 84.16% which is between the high and the

average ranges in which case the values in the !,able can be inter-
polated as follows:

High - man hours 300 90%

Average - manhours 400 75%
100 15
Adjusted manhours - 400 (84.16 -75) 1~~
400 - 61.06 = 338.93

say- 340 m.h. ans.

High equipment hours - 210

Average equipment hours 280
70
70
Adjusted equipment hours - 280- (84_16 -75)

280- 42.74 = 237_25

say 240 e.h. - ans.

EXAMPLE 2:

What is the manhours and equipment hours for the same job
as in Example 1 where the production factors average is 7590?

 eitimator uses his pe rso nal intuitive judgment in selc c-
;xiate manhours and equ ipment hours sin ce 75 % is

AGE SCALE

1.3 are prod ucts of a co mpany's wage

.::==~tio n system. It is always the desire of mo st c o mp<lllics
;. a wage scale that is fa ir and equitahle to rn inimize if no t
~:£:T _ preclude demoralizatio n am o ng e mployees. In most. ca,",s
c:iI"'I'lII.ilies hire outside consul ta nts to conduct wage study :lnd
~ recommendations on job evaluation method. The aforc-
n1=;,oned tables show predete rmined ranges of salaries. An em -
~ salary is determined by poin t or grading system. Factors
~ as educational attainment, expe ri ence, trade test results and
atner co nsiderations that a particular job may require consistent
. - policy and applicable laws are graded and the weighted ave·
~..., grade computed. The result ing average grade is the n plotted
the predetermined salary range for the job. The salary amount
:.. the n recommended. This salary is what we call direct labor
charge . The estimator should alway s reme mber that there are.
o:.her components of costs as far as labor is concerned, one of
..-hich is a set of payroll add itive s as illustrated in the later pa rt
o f t his chapter.

EFFECTIVE DIRECT LABOR COST

Tables l.4a, l.4b and 1.4 c categorize labor skills and show
wage levels. At the bottom of each skill class under this table is
shown the totai of effective wage which a given skill is actually
entitled to. This is equal to the basic wage plus all the payroll ad·
ditives. Some estimators treat payro ll additives separately because
casual or temporary employees may not be entitled to oth~r
benefits that regular employees enjoy. Payroll additives as shown
comprise mostly the basic additional benefit that the employee is
entitled to legally. Other benefits may be induded in accordance
to company-drawn policy.
Example 1:
Using table 1 .4a. 1.4b and l.4c compute the following for
foreman in H)86:
a) percentage of payroll addit ives wi th respect to effective
total compensation,
b) percentage of payroll additive with respect to basic wage,

3
 c) multiplying factor applied on basic wage (direct labor co, ·
to obtain the total effective labor cost.

Solution:

c) f 1.50

Example 2:

The total effective direct labor cost involving only weIde"

(skilled) is P25,776. If t his work was accomplished in 1985 for on1 ~
2400 welder hours compute the : a) effective cost per welder hour, 1:
total basic salary, c) total payroll additives.

c) Payroll additives total = 25,776 - 15,795.53 = P9,980.47

CREW RATE
Crew rate is the combined rate of a team of workers organizec
for a particular job under the supervision of a foreman or a leadman
The rate is usually expressed per hour basis and easily convertible
to per manhour r ate to match up with the production tables whicl:
are expressed in manhours.

~2"nt G'"idebook which i3 regularly published by the
_ _.cCvnstruction Equipment Lessor" Inc. (ACEL).
_ ...... 1Ii'25 o rganized in 1966 h, response to or.e ot the most
~o:cms that beset the construction industry - huge
.~....,ment for owning heavy equipment. The association
."lEl!!c;.::e system of leasing equipment which is accepted to be
L-a!:1!ative to owning the m .
. eboo k gives not only ren tal rate data but also specifi·
~ :ru> differen t equipment, standard terms and conditions
. . . .:cent lease contract, the list of ACEL members, and the
. . . . . .IX : o=ula applicable to rental rates of equipment.
ACEL guidebook does not show the detailed breakdown
oedvation of the rates of leasing different kinds of equip-
..m eed by ACEL. However, the General Membership ap·
. ._ . : J. ~ormula which "very nearly approximates a lessor's own-

=::00k. operating costs" the result o f which are in the ACEL

ACEL rental rate derivation is based on six major cost

Acquisition Cost,
Depreciation Cost,
Replacemen t Cost,
Operators, !v1echanics' and Laborers' wages
POL prices
Others (no breakdown)
Tab!es 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3 are graphs showing the' monthly bare
rate hehaviour or trend starting 1976 for selected groups of
",,,,,,.'::::lent. You will notice that i.'l 1984, there was a sharp rise in
:;;:.", that forced ACEL, to prepare an Interim Equipment
. book. Among the major causes of the drastic increase in
:-::lent rental rates in 1984 are as follows:
L Devaluation of the Peso from PH.OO agalnst the U.S.
Dollar to Pl4.00, then allowed to float to become Pl8.00
per U.S. Dollar;
2.. Series of Wage Orders, which increased labor cost by
almost 50%;
3. Two rounds of increases in the price of Petroleum, Oil and
Lubricants which induced an over-aJ.] average effect of
70%;
