Production Planning - Paints Assignment

Question:

It turned out that I had to make an estimate sheet for the panting of all 8 legs because the materials and hours would be much greater for 8 individually painted legs. Is that ok?

Answer:

Yes, that's fine. It would be more useful to do 8 sheets in this scenario - or at least 4 sheets of two, because the first question the designer is going to ask is "how much is each set?"

Question:

Because of drying time I have tasks that do not require two crew members for 8 hours I only need one. Can I not call one crew member 4 days?

Answer:

You need to call the same number of people for every call. If your floor is clogged with items that don't require that many people you either put an extra person on a project as a helper, or plan to do some kind of shop maintenance during that time.
