Breaking MH/ton apart
Picks per ton describes the work mix. Man-hours per pick describes how the crew is moving through it.
MH/ton = MH/pick × picks/tonPlanning the work
From project information to field production.
Working notes on steel erection planning, work packaging, crane operations, production measurement and project controls.

Building the production model
Each note continues the same argument: project information becomes useful when it is connected directly to how the work will be performed.
Organize the dashboard around the work
A dashboard becomes more useful when its structure matches the way the field experiences the project.

Two work packages can contain the same tonnage and require very different amounts of effort.
Read note →From measurement to a resource-loaded schedule
Turn planned picks, expected throughput and crew configuration into durations that can be measured and tested.
