Assume that all ranges on the 5th Level are already constructed and spanned.

1.25 team hours per df section (includes shelfreading, travel time, loading, unloading, making end cards)
one team hour = five staff hours
1335 sections x 1.25 team hrs = 1,669 team hours
1,669 team hours x 5 staff = 8,345 staff hours
1,669 team hours divided by two weeks = 835 team hrs/week
835 team hours divided by 7 days = 120 team hrs/day
120 team hours x 5 staff = 600 staff hrs/day
600 staff hours divided by 8 hours/day for one person = 75 people/day, each working 8 full hours
75 people divided by 5 people/team = 15 start points
120 team hrs divided by 4 hr shifts= 30 shifts (4 hr ea, 5 people ea per day)
- 6-10a: 7.5 teams
- 10a-2p: 7.5 teams
- 2-6p: 7.5 teams
- 6-10p: 7.5 teams
Why we think 1.25 hrs/df section is right: This summer we shifted and found that our rate was 1df section per hour with 2.5 people. The beginning and end points were very close: no elevators, no bottle-necks, no integrating collections from other areas, no shelfing reading, and no novice shelvers. Pad that number to account for all those elements which will be present in this shift.
