How much VTO is needed to reach a 100 PPH core volume with a shift length of 6 hours and planned headcount of 95, given a core volume of 54,000?

To determine how much Voluntary Time Off (VTO) is needed to reach a 100 PPH (units per hour) core volume with the given parameters, it's essential to understand how these calculations work.

First, we start by calculating the total number of units needed during the shift. With a target of 100 PPH over a shift length of 6 hours, the production goal is:

100 PPH * 6 hours = 600 units.

Next, we need to understand how the planned headcount of 95 associates contributes to this production. If every associate is expected to contribute equally and the shift is fully staffed, they would ideally produce a certain volume together. However, we must consider VTO, as it can reduce the effective headcount.

To find the number of associates that need to be present to achieve the goal of 600 units, we calculate the effective headcount without VTO. Since the core volume is 54,000, and we need to produce 600 units in one shift, we can assess how many hours each associate is working.

If associates can produce on average a certain number of units per hour (let’s say this correlates with their headcount), we can see how VTO would
