Is it possible within P3 to create an activity which uses x amount of resources to complete ?

In my industry of furniture building... 1 desk takes a fitter 15 minutes to complete. What I want to do is have an activity where P3 uses this information to calculate how much resource time is required to complete 100 desks within a set period of time.

For example, if I have to complete within 2 days using fitters who work a maximum of 8 hours a day, the answer would be 1.56 fitters, i.e. 2 per day after rounding up.
