Definition of a Labour Norm:
A number of hours for an activity per unit of measurement
Definition of a Unit-Rate:
A price per unit of measurement
Agenda DACE DACE Labour Norms Labour Norms & Unit-Rates Page & Nations Page & Nations & DACE Labour Norms DACE Labour Norms Future Conclusion
The difference between a Labour Norm and a Unit-Rate is that there are no costs involved in a Labour Norm only hours.
This makes it more usable for different industries and practices.

Page & Nations
Based on time and method studies in the US, ranging in cost from $ 1,000,000 to $ 5,000,000.
Strictly for estimating direct Labour in man-hours.
By carefully analyzing many reports, an average productivity rate of 70% is established. The labour hours or percentages compiled are based on this percentage.
