Exact Match compared to Full Coverage of Time Span for shift sets
The shift set is 7a–3p.
Job 1 is the primary job.
- Shift 1: 7a–3p = Job 1
- Shift 2: 10a–12p = Job 1
- Shift 3: 12p–3p = Job 1 transfer
- Shift 4: 6a–3p = Job 1 6a–1230p, Job 2 transfer 1230p–2p, Job 1 2p–3p
- Shift 5: 1p–3p = Job 1
If Exact Match, only Shift 1 is counted.
If Full Coverage of Time Span, all of the shifts are counted.
Hours Relative to Time Span compared to Full Coverage of Time Span for shift sets
The shift set is 7a–3p.
If the counting method is Hours Relative to Time Span:
- Shift 1: 9a–10a = 3 h
- Shift 2: 1030a–1p = 2.5 h
- Shift 3: 7a–12p = 5 h
- Shift 4: 1230p–3p = 2.5 h
- Total hours = 3 + 2.5 + 5 + 2.5 = 13 hours
- Time span of shift set (7a–3p) = 8 hours
- Coverage count = Total hours / Time span = 13 / 8 = 1.625 hours**
If the counting method is Full Coverage of Time Span:
- Coverage count = 1
Hours Relative to Time Span compared to Full Coverage of Time Span for labor volume
- If the counting method is Hours Relative to Time Span, coverage is the average labor volume:
- If labor volumes for 15-minute intervals from 7a–8a are 2, 5, 4, and 2, the required workload for the period 7a–8a is:
- ((2 x 0.25) + (5 x 0.25) + (4 x 0.25) + (2 x 0.25)) / (4 x 0.25) = 3.25
- If the counting method is Full Cover of Time Span, coverage is the minimum labor volume:
- If the labor volumes for 15-minute intervals from 7a–8a are 2, 5, 4, and 2, the required workload for the 1-hour time span from 7a–8a is 2.
