Abstract

The adequate determination of labor cost of manufacturing projects is a decisive factor for the organizations’ competitiveness in this sector. This factor is priority in labor-intensive environments due to the emergence of new competitors. The objective of this work was to identify how nominal costs differ from real costs while quoting manufacturing projects in a harness manufacturing plant. This approach allowed to identify management alternatives to reduce these gaps. A set of relevant operations in terms of labor cost was chosen and the quoted labor cost was examined in relation to the real one, which was estimated by a time study. The results showed that labor cost estimates based on historical data differed significantly from those provided by the time studies. These results gave place to recognize management avenues. Conclusions derived from the study are presented, as well as recommendations for future work.
