Updating the AHTD Manpower Forecasting Program
The Arkansas State Highway and Transportation Department (AHTD) Manpower Forecasting Program is used by construction engineers to estimate the manpower inspection needs for the Resident Engineer (RE) offices throughout the State of Arkansas. This program has been updated using recent AHTD completed job data. Generally, the forecasting program estimates the labor required to inspect projects as they are constructed, determines when and where this labor is needed, and generates various reports on this information. Both man-hour prediction and job length prediction equations have been updated by performing linear regression analysis on AHTD completed job data. Almost all of the updated linear equations exhibited an increase in y-intercept value and a decrease in slope. These changes correspond to a lower man-hour prediction and a shorter length prediction for a given job cost. Completed AHTD job data was unavailable for several types of work which have historically been included in the forecasting program.
