Hi all

I was just looking for the sample example given in P3. HWY1, ( highway widening ) then I remarked all equipment resources use units as day ?

Usually we use hours for equipment as sometimes we work more then 8 hours (overtime) ?
Any idea ?

    Hi expert

    I suppose that my English is so bad that you did not understand the question?

    My question, why for labour he uses hours, and days for equipments ?

    I believe that it all has to do with money. You pay for labor by the hour but you rent equipment by the day.

    Yes Mr alex
    It is normal where you have industrial states. For day to day maintenance and specially during the shutdowns. Lot of equipemnt supply you the equipmemnt on hour rate + mob & demob cost. But in this case the rate is abvous high teh daily/weekly/monthly bases.

    Hi alex

    Of course it our fault then, we pay him for 8 hours, as we plan to use equipment like truck for 8 hours per day, but if we work for 14 hours we pay him consequently
