Estimated Labor Force

The Estimated Labor Force screen is used to assign the estimated number of employees required for the production casting process on a specific bed. This will allow you to forecast the number of staff needed for a production schedule. This data will be viewed on the Production Planning screen (see Figure 5 below).

Refer: Production Planning – Edit : (concretevision.com)
