Q1.1 What does it mean Ration Others (FTE) / Sales (FTE) = 0.4? What does it mean Span of Control

We are told that the pizzeria that we need to make a structure for is working 15 hours a day, so I used the
numbers from the example above (the other pizzeria that works 12 hours a day), and scaled the expected
time on each task to 15 hours

Waitress: 2.87 FTE, I have chosen to hire 2 FTE and 1 part time with the manager of the pizza place filling in
on the last 0.37 FTE

Pizzaiolo: 3.75, I have chosen to hire 4 FTE so there is a little more breathing space for the pizzaioli

Barman: 1.56, I have chosen to hire 1 FTE and 1 PTE as they can overwork a little (They are drinking free
Irish coffees, they cant complain)

Dishwasher: 2 (No calculations, but a rough estimate), They can rotate the 2 job task between days, but its
mostly preparation in the morning and dishwashing from the first rush hour

Accountant: 0.5 FTE, They are not working on a daily basis and they are not directly connected to the
pizzeria but rather works for an accountant firm

Q2.3. For which organizations can it be useful/possible to apply Task analysis for HR planning.

Restaurants, bars, museum?

Q3. In which situation it can be useful for the company to use “Leading indicators” for
HR planning? Why? Give
an example of the company type.
Hospital
In the hospital you need many nurses to take care of the patients, and you can analyze the numbers of
patients coming yearly to see how many nurses you need. In the pandemic there we shockingly many
patients that needed help, and the hospitals weren’t prepared ( Maybe they are more suited now with the
experience of corona)

Q4. When is it possible to make HR planning based on the “Conclusions by analogy”?

Amusement parks can roughly look at other amusement parks and determine how much personnel they
needed compared to the sizes.
Another example can be a bar looking at how much personnel is needed for week days and weekends
respectively.
