Overtime Curves
Duration curve to reach
zero added production in a 2hr O.T work
y= ax + b
x=0 b= 125
x=14 out of 125 0.8
y= 100
14a= ‐25
x= ‐1.8
at 2 HR y= ‐1.8 x + 125
At y= 100

Overtime Curves
Duration curve to reach
zero added production in a 2hr O.T work
Decisions to be made
A add few laborers, or
B make OT shifts per each alternating crew, or
C let all laborers work OT before they reach zero additional Production
Overtime Curves – Plaster Example
Given Forecasted quantities of plaster 62,000.00 ms
To date total production 42,000.00 ms
2‐ Extra OT cost rate is 1.25
3‐ avoid working times more than 2 hrs a day

Overtime Curves
Decisions to be made
Still you can come up with other scenarios and assess the
optimal production increase rate and its cost impact.
Note that sometimes GMs prefers to pay a penalty that is
cheaper than involving additional OT rates and OT staff fees.
