    This is 1st 2nd line, so again I'm assuming minium staff, if they want 2 on shift they can double the quote

      Actually if you ask my current ClientCo, 2161;

      1 who does the work.
      1 who pretends to be able to take over but can’t.
      1 Team Manager
      1 Project Manager
      1 Compliance Officer
      2 Project Secretaries
      362 Purchasing Managers
      737 HR Consultants
      62 Lean Six Sigma Consultants
      27 Process Managers
      960 Bob Shawadiwadis to produce untested cack
      5 directors to take most of the money
      1 agent to take 30% of the money and complain that margins are under pressure
      There are 168 hours a week, even dividing by 4 gives a 42 hour week each. Then add on Hols/Sick must be a lot more.

        It depends on what you're supporting. If a lot of this stuff can be self monitoring / healing, you can have people on call which will reduce the amount of staff you need.

          True. I think a lot of this will depend on the volumes. Thanks for input.

            Oi! Whose side are you on??
            Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

                  If it's a defence contractor, that's why a pair of pliers works out at 300 quid plus VAT.
