How Many Operators Do You Use to Staff a Post?

NEWSLETTER ARTICLE

A 24/7 post or position requires more than four operators if overtime is to be kept to a manageable level. So how many are needed? That depends, but it can be calculated. Given how much time off from the job (vacation, illness, etc.) and how much time not working at their job (special assignment, training, extra for turnarounds), the number of operators required can be calculated to achieve different levels of overtime. Check out the overtime calculator under the "Archives" link at Beville.com to determine if you have enough or too many. If you have enough operators and are not meeting overtime targets, it is likely a function of operator qualifications and/or scheduling practices. Contact us for further analysis.
