    Hi Peter Welcome to Planning

    Hi Peter

    Welcome to Planning Planet

    I do not know of any standard definition for the terms Manpower and Manhours.

    I would suggest that Manpower is the gang size allocated to a task and Manhours is the ammount of hours required to complete the task.

    Productioin rate is how much work is to be completed in a set time unit.

    Best regards

    Manpower I guess is the same

    Manpower I guess is the same as Horsepower;

    or maybe health and nourishment will make the difference?

    for sure it's not the same as the number of crew and Man-hours...
