Multiplying Men by Hours
<p>It is <strong>not a rate</strong> like “men <em>per</em> hour” nor the “amount of work done <em>per</em> person <em>per</em> hour”.</p>
<p>Rather, the <strong>“man-hour”</strong> <strong>is a unit</strong>, used to compare the <strong>amount of “work”</strong> done by a person working constantly for an hour, against other tasks to be completed:</p>
<p>number of people × number of hours = <strong>man-hour</strong></p>
<p>The man-hour is definitely <em>related</em> to the rate of “amount of work per person per hour”, as we will see.</p>
<p>The concept of “man-hour” can make it easier to <strong>calculate the resources required</strong> for a project-which is why it is widely used in project management to estimate the time and money required for various tasks.</p>
