Dear Fellow Institutional Techs:

I recently used quite a bit of worktime to complete the Workload Formula worksheet (Excel doc) to bolster my argument for more help with my workload. I was conservative in my data entry (values). The result showed .41 techs needed to maintain my inventory. I was looking for more like 1.41! Could I have done something wrong? Has anybody else had a similar experience? My department chair is asking for data to support my request for help/funding asap so I'm very discouraged that I can't use this Workload Formula result to bolster my case. 

Thanks for any insights. I'm attaching the spreadsheet as a .pdf file..

sorry here's a cleaner .pdf of the data

Thank you, Fred! I was probably being conservative based on what I'm currently actually able to do as opposed to where I would like things to be. I'll amend my ratings and see if I get a number that is more in line with 1.25 to 1.5 technicians (which is what I'm looking for...).

Regardless, like many institutional technicians I am unable to meet the demands of inventory and usage!

Yours,

Norman

I am in a similar conundrum. The problem is that I am so overloaded there is no time to enter the data on the workload worksheet. 

Is there a way to populate the inventory fields so that I just need to enter the values for each piano? We have 132 instruments here.

An additional person had to be hired to enter the data when I started here and decided to use FM. Up till then, it was all kept on index cards. 

TIA
